Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Circus -- Petit Dejeuner ~ Nichiyoubi no Choushoku（日曜日の朝食）

 

Number: 073

Lyricist: Michio Yamagami

Composer: Tetsuji Hayashi

Arranger: Tetsuji Hayashi

From Circus' 1981 album: "Four Seasons to Love"

"Petit Dejeuner" is the type of song that I'd like to hear while enjoying a leisurely breakfast on a holiday morning. This is a number by hitmaker Tetsuji Hayashi（林哲司）who has always pursued high-quality pop music without doing anything weird with the melody, but it's strange here because I find his contributions on this album more appealing than any of the other big hits he's written. The arrangement here also comes off as being very sophisticated.

The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
