As we start the first full week of fall, I found out from our local Weather Network station that Toronto had gone through 11 straight days without any precipitation which is apparently the longest streak for this year. I figured that we were rather dry for a fair bit but all that was nullified this morning when it looked rather damp out there. Things are looking even wetter for Tuesday and Wednesday.
I've written about singer-songwriter and saxophonist Kaori Kuno（久野かおり）a number of times on the blog in the past as an artist who enjoys the lighter side of pop. I managed to find a song by her titled "Amayadori" (Shelter from the Rain) which was the first track on her 1996 album "Anata wo Mitsumete"（あなたを見つめて...Looking For You）. All these years, I've only known her from her voice and noble visage on the CD albums I've bought of her, so it was with some surprise that she actually had a music video of "Amayadori". She doesn't wield her saxophone here but it's a pleasant song about a couple trying to make amends within the atmosphere of searching for solace from a rainstorm. There's also some nice Latin guitar interwoven with the synthesizer melody.
