Number: 084
Lyricist: Minako Yoshida
Composer: Tatsuro Yamashita
Arranger: Tatsuro Yamashita
From Yamashita's 1982 album: "For You"
"Music Book" is a really invigorating number just like how the lyrics feel (Melody's rain...pouring down on you). With "Sparkle" before it and "Morning Glory" after it on "For You", this is the killer trio. And aren't there many of the delusional among those who have thoroughly listened to the record who keep hearing an acapella chorus even after the end of the song? This is a tribute to the time when Tatsuro's（山下達郎）sound was truly gleaming.
The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
