The duo Bread & Butter（ブレッド＆バター）has always been a welcome presence on "Kayo Kyoku Plus" ever since we started things up in 2012. One intriguing thing though is that for 2024, the Iwasawa Brothers have been represented just through the weekly Yutaka Kimura Speaks series three times. As well as they should, too, but maybe it would be nice to have them back with an original article, something that we haven't seen since May 2023.
One reason that I've enjoyed Bread & Butter for so long is that they can record songs with fine hooks across the genre spectrum just like Kirinji and Sing Like Talking. Mind you, neither Iwasawa brother was responsible for the making of "Baraketa Initial" (Scattered Initials) which was written by Norie Kanzawa（神沢札江）and composed by Yasuhiro Abe（安部恭弘）with arrangement by Jun Sato（佐藤準）. Still, it's a nice, bouncy and contemplative pop song to add onto their City Pop and folk with a hint of an odyssey through European environments.
"Baraketa Initial" was the duo's 20th single from September 1984 and was also included on their 9th album "Second Serenade" which was released later in November.
