Well, it is Urban Contemporary Friday on KKP and I'm starting this week's batch in the evening after a late morning of walking around in the midst of the currently-running Toronto International Film Festival, so let's start with something especially light and mellow.
One example is Yukari Ito's（伊東ゆかり）"Mariko" which is a track on her 1982 "Misty Hour" album, her musical embracement of all things City Pop. Written by Machiko Ryu（竜真知子）and composed by Ken Sato（佐藤健）, I don't know who this Mariko that Yukari is referring to, but from the footloose and fancy-free arrangement, I take it that the lass is simply and happily drinking in life as it comes to her. The Fender Rhodes sounds especially sumptuous here. I will always be grateful to the singer for taking that brief side road into the groovy territory.
