About six weeks ago, I posted an article regarding the band Signal（シグナル）and their warm and reassuring City Pop tune "Slow Down", and yep, it did make me want to slow down and smell the flowers or coffee. ☕
Well, I've got another Signal song here. "Aoi Kage" (Blue Shadows) was released as their August 1981 single, and I'd say that this tune here isn't a City Pop or J-AOR example of their discography. Once again, written by guitarist Akio Asami（浅見昭男）and composed by fellow guitarist Masanori Sumide（住出勝則）, this time this song is slightly more rock-driven and chugs away at a good pace. I've listened to "Aoi Kage" a few times now and I've enjoyed that inclusion of what sounds like a mandolin strumming away to give it a bit more of an exotic edge. Both "Slow Down" and "Aoi Kage" are included on Signal's 1981 album "Passing Shower".
