Yuuichi Ikuzawa -- Fushigi na Hodo I Love You（不思議なほどI Love You）

 

It's been over eighteen months since I had Yuuichi Ikuzawa（生沢佑一）up on the byline with his cover of the "Ghostbusters"-connected "Hot Night", so let's redeem that with one of his tracks from his 1984 album "Hana Wakare"（花わかれ...Parting of the Flowers）.

"Fushigi na Hodo I Love You" (I Love You So Much It's Weird) is an intriguing title for a pretty groovy and straight-up City Pop song. But hey, as long as it sounds cool and good, I'm fine. Written by Yasushi Akimoto（秋元康）and composed/arranged by Toshiyuki Kimori（木森敏之）, it does sound like an accompaniment to a good stroll down any of the main streets of Tokyo to get that fresh air (or as fresh as it ever gets in one of the world's largest cities) into the lungs.
