Yuki Okazaki -- Café B.H

 

That was a fine gooey chocolate cupcake in that café!

The last time I wrote about singer-songwriter Yuki Okazaki（岡崎友紀）was back in late 2021. Her "S-O-O-N" and "Sweet Joke" both come from her 1981 album "So Many Friends" and they follow the City Pop aesthetic. However with its track mate, "Café B.H", which was written and composed by Okazaki herself, there is very much more of a a 70s soft rock vibe and a tribute riff to the Doobie Brothers in the chorus. Not sure what is up with the initials in the title but the café sounds appealing enough to merit a visit and the journey there can be accompanied by that cool rhythm in the arrangement.

Good to hear that she's still active. According to her J-Wiki article, Okazaki had a concert late last year in Tokyo to celebrate her 70th birthday.
