Lyricist/Composer/Arranger: Haruomi Hosono
From Hosono's 1973 album: "Hosono House"
"Koi wa Momo Iro" is a masterpiece with a country rock flavor, recorded at Hosono's house in Sayama at the time, in the style of The Band's "Big Pink". "If rain falls/Inside of you/I wonder whether I'll get wet when I close my umbrella" is a splendid phrase and "Koi wa Momo Iro" is a wonderful title. At this point, this is a precious legacy by the quintessential singer-songwriter known as Haruomi Hosono(細野晴臣).
The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
