I started thinking about the anniversary day's plans including the cover versions for "Memory Glass" a few weeks back, and so finding the covers, I then thought about some of the other songs that singer-songwriter Jun Horie（堀江淳）had recorded in the decades between now and the 1980s. It wasn't particularly easy since "Memory Glass" was the one big hit for him.
However, I did find one song which was some years after "Memory Glass". There was his 1993 maxi-single or mini-album titled "Tokyo"（東京）which for some reason doesn't exist in his J-Wiki discography but exists on Apple Music. One of the tracks is "La Regina" which has that urbane feeling of 1990s Tokyo and sounds like something that could have been a theme song for a J-Drama suspense during a weeknight. Horie's high-pitched voice is unmistakable.
This is great, but it sounds more 80's to me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, probably for me, the keyboards used in the song reminded me more of early 90s stuff.
