With the usual two major holidays here during the first week of July in much of North America, I'm sure that there has been a flurry of traffic via all routes. Hopefully, it's been smooth for you.
Since we're on the theme of holidays, I've supplying my most recent Minako Ito(伊藤美奈子)song in about a year. From her October 1982 debut album "Tenderly", I give you the second track "Sayonara no Kyujitsu" (The Goodbye Holiday). A smooth and bluesy City Pop number accentuated with guitar and Fender Rhodes, this is quite the bourbon of Japanese urban contemporary. With words by Shun Taguchi(田口俊)and music by Ito herself, there is also something in the arrangement that is rather kayo kyoku. Lyrically, it's all about a seemingly definitive goodbye to a romance only for at least one half of the relationship suffering from some difficulties in getting rid of the ex from the mind.

Well, the traffic has been as smooth as Minako Ito's song presented here in blog post because I live 5,810 miles (or 9,350.289 kilometers) away from the states.
