All-Points Bulletin: What is This Song?

 

Hello and welcome to the first full work week of October 2025 on KKP. Hopefully, you are having a good start and with the photo of the apple pie on top, it's time for another All-Points Bulletin.

I received a contact from Gilbert a few days ago regarding an old kayo kyoku from when he was just a child that he would like to identify but currently cannot. He played a little under a minute of it through this Google link on his piano so you can give a listen to it. The only information that Gilbert could give me was that it had been sung by a woman and it's probably from the 1970s. 

At first thought, I assumed that it was "Seishun Jidai"(青春時代)by Koichi Morita and The Top Gallants but of course, that was sung by a male group and the melody from Gilbert's excerpt doesn't fully follow the original melody. In any case, have a listen and if you can help out, let us know!
