Yuko Asano -- Potsuri Potsuri(ぽつりぽつり)

 

Back in August, I covered the B-side of Yuko Asano's(浅野ゆう子)October 1977 single. The song was called "Sunset Seaside"(サンセット・シーサイド)and it was a stately disco kayo.

Well, that A-side is titled "Potsuri Potsuri" (Little by Little). It can also be translated as "Drip, Drip" for those who like their onomatopoeia, and perhaps the story is about something taking its sweet time. Compared to "Sunset Seaside", "Potsuri Potsuri" maybe goes a bit harder into the Donna Summer disco although Asano's vocals here remind me of those belonging to a young Junko Yagami(八神純子). As with the B-side, this particular song was also created by lyricist Akira Ito(伊藤アキラ), composer Kyohei Tsutsumi(筒美京平)and arranger Motoki Funayama(船山基紀).
