Akira Jimbo -- Unforgettable Summer

 

Although I've had my fill of Lemon Meringue Pie since that's the one dessert that my parents love, I've only had a few tastes of Key Lime Pie. From what I remember, it's also darn tasty.

Speaking of which, I haven't spoken on Casiopea drummer Akira Jimbo(神保彰)in some years as a headliner on KKP. I think the last article that I did on him was his "Red Lotus Man" all the way back in 2020, so it's time to rectify the situation here by bringing a track from his 6th album "Lime Pie" which was released in July 1993. The track here is the jazzy "Unforgettable Summer" which feels like it belongs to a whirlwind montage of enjoying a walk through a Caribbean paradise on a gorgeous summer day. Sounds like all of the major instruments have gotten their time in the sun here. 

I also chose this particular track because it's indeed been an unforgettable summer both here and in Japan. Unfortunately, it's often been unforgettable over there because of what the torrid heat and bands of torrential rains have wreaked. As for Toronto, it's been one of our warmer summers so a lot of our sun worshippers have been quite happy and even today, it sure doesn't feel like autumn.

  1. I am going to have to wait to comment on this song because the powers that be have once again prohibited me from listening to this on your blog and on YouTube. No worries, I think I can track this song down.
