Finally got out of my lunch-induced drowsiness state after watching (or trying to watch) two periods of the Pittsburgh Penguins-Tampa Bay Lightning afternoon game so that I can put up a couple of articles for KKP Saturday. Of course, the first one I'm tackling is going to be one that may put me back to sleep.
This is not to say that turn-of-the-decade aidoru Yuri Kurizane's（国実百合）song "Soba ni Ite Kudasai" (Please Stay With Me) is a bad one, but the arrangement is such that it pretty much resembles a Xmas lullaby with what sounds like a toy piano or music box in the background. It is one of four songs on Kurizane's 8th single from February 1990, "Kitakaze to Taiyou"（北風と太陽...The North Wind and the Sun）, and this one was written by former aidoru Kumiko Aimoto（相本久美子）and composed by Kingo Hamada（浜田金吾）. What's winning for it is the slightly doo-wop nature of "Soba ni Ite Kudasai" thanks to that background chorus but it is a late 80s/early 90s aidoru tune with those synths powering away there.
If you wish, you can try one of her more orange-juice-sparking songs "Midori no Express"（緑のエクスプレス）from 1989.
