The cases are rare on KKP, but there are singers whose entire portfolios on this blog basically talk on their one-and-only album. Takako Mamiya（間宮貴子）is one such person and the other is a fellow City Pop chanteuse by the name of singer-songwriter Amy.
I covered her 1983 album "Amy" some years ago of which one song is "Dance in Dream". And I have another one here called "Ame Iro no Screen" (Rain Colour Screen). Written by Shun Taguchi（田口俊）and composed by the singer herself, it's so City Pop with the bass and keyboards that it hurts and listeners should find themselves suddenly wearing pink polo shirts and fluffy white cardigans wrapped around their waists. They may even get that sudden urge to walk down a seashore at sunset or sunrise like Amy herself on the album cover.
Okay, looks like I have new favorite singer! I had not listen to anything by 間宮貴子 before, but after listening this track I found a more of her songs and albums and I love her voice and city pop style.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you've been able to enjoy Amy and hopefully Takako as well.
