Keiko Utsumi -- Lunch Time Story(ランチ・タイム物語)

 

I'm definitely getting some breezy noon time repast in Tokyo vibes as I listen to Keiko Utsumi's(宇都美慶子) "Lunch Time Story". Maybe the Bubble Era was collapsing that year but I don't think any of those well-heeled and well-to-do lunch folks ever got the memo.

A track from Utsumi's January 1991 2nd album "L'Arc-en-Ciel", it was written by the singer and composed by Masayuki Kishi(岸正之). It's got quite the muscular proud strut into the big sunny city with some disco flute as reinforcement along with the metropolitan percussion and keyboard work of the time. I guess folks following the intent of "Lunch Time Story" are gonna be making their reservations somewhere in tony Omotesando or Roppongi and having one heck of a time communicating their gossip. Two or three hours, I suspect...lots of wine.
