Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Bread & Butter -- Pink Shadow (ピンクシャドウ)

 

Number: 070

Lyricist: Bread & Butter

Composer: Bread & Butter

Arranger: Bread & Butter

From Bread & Butter's 1974 album: "Barbeque"

As it has in the past and as it is right now, "Pink Shadow" remains Bread & Butter's classic top runner with numerous covers by artists such as Tatsuro Yamashita（山下達郎）and even self-covers by the original duo.  A nice groovy tune that has ranked with the best by some of the best acts including Caramel Mama, its distinctive tempo is something that only Bread & Butter could create, and this original version leaves an especially deep impression.

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