All-Points Bulletin: Name Those Tunes

Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a most interesting November Monday on "Kayo Kyoku Plus" as I've posted a couple of ROY articles to Jack Jones and Quincy Jones due to their recent departures, and now for the first time since June this year, we have a new All-Points Bulletin for a rash of songs. Of course, we have the official image up for an APB: the apple pie.

Jeff Song contacted me yesterday to see if I could identify the original singers for the above Chinese covers of Japanese tunes via an old compilation tape that he had come across. He was able to identify the singers for some of them except for six tunes. One of the six samples that I received was actually a cover of the Asami Kado(門あさ美)song "Season" but unfortunately the other five are unknown to me although they seem to cover the City Pop/pop range. So, I'm now passing on the task to you viewers to see if you may be able to identify these mystery songs.

On that note, I have to congratulate the successful conclusion of a long quest to identify what was known as The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet which is now known as "Subways of Your Mind" by FEX. Perhaps this might give Jeff and everyone some inspiration.

  1. Gives me a bit of hope for the Akiba Tape song, which has a lot of cool aspects. I wish that this newly pinned down song by FEX was much better for such a massive search.
