Another new face to add to the files of "Kayo Kyoku Plus", Yoshimi Yokosuka（横須賀昌美）has been recognized on J-Wiki as a model and an actress from Ishikawa Prefecture who began her career in 1980 as a Shiseido commercial model. However, she also branched out into music starting in 1981 with only four singles up to 1988.
Her third single was "Breathless" which was released in May 1988. Written by Yoshiko Miura（三浦徳子）, composed by Kisaburo Suzuki（鈴木キサブロー）and arranged by Kazuo Otani（大谷和夫）, it's quite the dance-pop-friendly sort of song, and I'm not sure, but would this also be considered to be part of Eurobeat? I'll have to find out from commenters. In any case, for someone who seems to have been considered as a thespian and model, her vocals weren't too shabby.
I think this counts as being part of Eurobeat; however, its genre is classified as Pop, and its style is labelled as Kayōkyoku on the following page: https://www.discogs.com/release/35748049-%E6%A8%AA%E9%A0%88%E8%B3%80%E6%98%8C%E7%BE%8E-Breathless
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was a little stymied about how to classify this one. I don't think it would fall under kayo kyoku. If I had generated a Dance label, it would have gone in there. Maybe I'll still generate it although I'll have a lot of catching up to do.
