Yumi Takigawa -- Yopparai Keiken（酸っぱい経験）

All the way back in January this year, I introduced singer-actress Yumi Takigawa（多岐川裕美 ）to "Kayo Kyoku Plus" with her 1981 "Minami no Yoru no Ohanashi"（南の夜のおはなし）. The song which originated from her 3rd album "Sayo II"（小夜II）was a bit of a Long Island Iced Tea of City Pop, Latin and Fashion Music.

Well, I have here Takigawa's 3rd single from September 1980, "Yopparai Keiken" (A Drunken Experience). Somewhat reminiscent of Yuki Okazaki's（岡崎友紀）"Do You Remember Me?" which had been released a few months earlier, there is that mix of 60s girl pop and New Music where ladies like Ruiko Kurahashi（倉橋ルイ子）are concerned. Written by Yoshiko Miura（三浦徳子）and composed by Kan Ogasawara（小笠原寛）, the story here is that a lady and her boyfriend are trying to enjoy themselves in a drinking establishment but the former has gotten a little tipsy and is perhaps thinking some lascivious thoughts with her beau later that evening. However, her perhaps slightly disheveled appearance is also attracting attention from others. Let us hope that they pay their bill and leave quietly.

As a part of my own drinking education a few decades ago, I've been in some excessively alcoholic situations but nothing unintentionally romantic ever came of them. I did hear the people dragging me back home making some complaints about my weight though.
