Jin Kirigaya -- Shizuka da ne(静かだね)

 

We're coming up to the end of another KKP day so let's go with something especially light and mellow. It seems as if over the last year, whenever I've posted an article on singer-songwriter Jin Kirigaya(桐ヶ谷仁), it's to mention him in a Yutaka Kimura Speaks item such as No. 36 on that list.

So, let's wrap things up with an article specifically attuned to him, shall we? There is his track "Shizuka da ne" (You're Quiet) from his 1983 album "Jin". Written and composed by Kirigaya, it gives off an appropriately whispery-soft atmosphere as a man reminisces a past relationship fondly if somewhat sadly. As the song progresses, the arrangement and volume get a little higher including a feverish flute, perhaps signifying the guy getting deeper and deeper into his remembrances (maybe it's a bit of "Inception"). It definitely has that late summer/early fall vibe.

I bid you a good night.
