(27:56)

Number: 031

Lyricist/Composer: Yumi Matsutoya

Arranger: Masataka Matsutoya

From Yuming's 1978 album: "Ryusenkei '80"

Even up to now, I will always love Yuming（ユーミン）the most back at that time when she could jump into that 1954 Corvette depicted in the first-rate cover illustration by Nobuyuki Yabuki（矢吹申彦）, step on the accelerator and jauntily head off into the coming 1980s. "Corvett 1954" is a refreshing duet with Takao Kisugi（来生たかお）. Listening to this light pop performed together, I get the impression that this is something out of the Tin Pan Alley（ティン・パン・アレー）playbook, and it's something that Shigeru Suzuki（鈴木茂）and Yoshitaka Minami（南佳孝）were also good at.

The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
