Well, either the above businessman is really intensely looking at the snow offscreen or he's got a lot on his mind. Actually, I just had to bring in this particular Bing AI picture since I didn't use it for the AI gallery article I put up just now.
It didn't take long to find a song to go with it. "Yukimizake" (Snow View Sake) is a song by the late singer-songwriter Kenji Endo（遠藤賢司）from his November 1971 second album "Manzoku Dekiru ka na"（満足できるかな...Can I Ever Be Satisfied?）. I first wrote about Endo through an Author's Pick regarding foodie kayo a few years ago and he provided his paean to one of his favourite dishes "Curry Rice"（カレーライス）which is also included on the album.
Starting a bit like "Mellow Yellow" with that bass and drum, "Yukimizake" is a laidback bluesy folk tune that would sound ideal with a bunch of sake-drinking people all huddled around a fire outside in wintry Hokkaido. I can imagine everybody knocking back some heated glasses of One Cup Ozeki. I bought one of those from a vending machine, drank it down and had one of the worst hangovers in my life. For the rest of my time in Japan, I used it for only cooking purposes. It is now Hakkaisan or Kubota or bust for me.
