As with Kayo Grace above, I was also eating sushi with a couple of friends at a place that I'd never been to before, Jyugyoya in the Bayview-Leaside neighbourhood. The weather wasn't the greatest since the clouds kept threatening to open up on pedestrians but it was still a nice walk through this quaint area in the city. The food was good, the service was fine and the company was wonderful.
I'd like to start this edition of Urban Contemporary Fridays on KKP with another entry from the "Heart Cocktail"（ハートカクテル）series. First off, the original NTV film "Cosmos Avenue" involves a couple who look to be fairly long into their relationship judging from the nature of their banter, and it looks like they seem to be exchanging stuff over a fairly long distance between their respective homes.
The somewhat banging "Cosmos Avenue" soundtrack which plays during the nearly three-minute vignette is by Naoya Matsuoka（松岡直也）and is included in the 1986 "Heart Cocktail Vol. 1" album of songs. It's elegant and busy at the same time with the string synths flowing over a hammering synth rhythm punctuated by syn-drums. Still for something more organic, there is a piano beating away at its heart.
I have no idea what genre this is but I like it, I like it a lot and the film was cute, although Youtube wouldn't let me watch here on the blog for whatever reason.
