It's been a little over six months since the passing of singer, songwriter and seiyuu Tarako and I've still been plumbing through her discography back in her early years of the 1980s.
This track from her June 1983 debut album "Totteoki no Shunkan"（とっておきの瞬間...Special Moments） is an interesting one. The brief Tarako file on KKP that I've had up to now has shown her tackling the City Pop genre. But her "Anata dake no Natsu" (A Summer Just For You) is a very different animal in that it sounds just like a jaunty country tune. Written and composed by Tarako herself, the song seems to describe a nice life out in the rice fields or cornfields and her voice is quite a bit higher when compared to her vocals for "Only Goodbye" which had been the most recent song that I wrote about shortly after her untimely death.
