Penthouse -- Minute by Minute

 


Y'know...I don't think I've worn a wristwatch in quite a few decades now. Don't quite know why...I can wear something cheap like one with a famous cartoon mouse's arm as the watch hands, but never got around to it. I certainly can't have a Citizen (as above) or a Rolex on my arm...out in public, that is. I would end up not having an arm.


The song that was accompanying the commercial at the top there is "Minute by Minute" (sorry...nothing to do with the Doobie Brothers' tune). This was released in October as the 16th and the latest digital single by the band Penthouse which I have gotten to know as a snazzy unit capable of some fine Neo-City Pop and R&B in general. With "Minute by Minute", I get more of the funk and some great gospel vocal stylings by Maho Oshima(大島真帆)and Shintaro Namioka(浪岡真太郎). The latter member took care of words and music while band bassist Takuma Ohara(大原拓真)also helped out on the lyrics.

    1. Yes, indeed Keiko is. I think she's currently on the NHK morning serial, "Bake Bake".
