Mariko Takahashi -- Moshikashitara(もしかしたら)

 

Things are getting chillier up here in the Northern Hemisphere so folks are probably hitting the nearest cafe for their lattes and apple strudel. Maybe get together with a few friends for a kaffeeklatsch while surrounded by the final vestiges of the autumn colours.

For a musical representation of this, I can provide "Moshikashitara" (Maybe) by the lovely Mariko Takahashi(高橋真梨子)from her February 1980 album "Sunny Afternoon". Written by Tsuzuru Nakasato(中里綴)and composed by Yasuhiro Kido(木戸やすひろ), it's quite the warm and folksy country ditty about accepting love for what it practically means: not always happy but something that also includes bad times and forgiveness. Nice thing to think about as we approach the Holidays. Takahashi always does the country music wonderfully.

  1. Sounding a little like American country music, this does make me feel a little warmer, as I tend to imagine country music being played in places like Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee, where it is rather warm all year round.
