Yuiko Tsubokura -- Je t'aime(ジュテーム)

 

In the relevant J-Wiki article for this particular song by chanteuse Yuiko Tsubokura(坪倉唯子), she sang this on TV Asahi's "Music Station" while still in her wild costume as the squeaky-voiced singer for B.B. Queens. Maybe they were reprising their hit song "Odoru Ponpokorin"(おどるポンポコリン). Anyways, I would have loved to have seen the expressions on everyone's faces while she was creamily singing it. Well, we can all check the video below out.

No squeaky voice here for her 4th solo single "Je t'aime" which came out in January 1993 and definitely no hint of "Odoru Ponpokorin". This is a classy urban ballad that sounds as if it should have been the ending theme for a drama. Guess what? It was...it finished each episode of the NTV drama "Jealousy"(ジェラシー). Written by Akira Ohtsu(大津あきら)and composed by Tetsuro Oda(織田哲郎), this sophisticated pop song was Tsubokura's highest-ranking single when it hit No. 25 on Oricon.
