Yukari Fresh -- Yukarin' Disco

 


I don't know supremely much about singer, songwriter and DJ Yukari Fresh but it's interesting to note that her own Wikipedia article is a fair bit more detailed than the J-Wiki for her old unit, Snapshot. And for that matter, the Snapshot J-Wiki piece has only added Fresh's record as part of the article. Fresh, aka Yukari Takasaki(高崎ゆかり), and her professional partner-turned-husband Yugo Katayama(片山祐吾), formed Snapshot in 1992 with six releases to their names before disbanding in 1996.

Fresh started her solo career the following year, releasing albums up to 2008. Her last album to date was one of her BEST compilations, "Flammable Tapes", from October 2008 from which I offer her "Yukarin' Disco". Perhaps it's disco for The Smurfs, but for me, it's a really happy 1980s technopop piece that has a bit of Shibuya-kei, especially with the samples in the latter half of the song.

  1. Yukarin' Disco? Hmm, this isn't the kind of disco that I know about, but it is a cute fast paced electric song. I am trying very hard to imagine what kind of dance might be befitting of this song.
