Y'know...I think this is the earliest in singer-songwriter Kengo Kurozumi's（黒住憲五）discography that I've ever reached. Usually, I've been going through his 1980s City Pop material but today, I'm taking a tangent here and bringing over his second single from May 1979, "Tsumibukai Yoru" (A Sinful Night). Written by Ray Nakanishi and composed by the singer himself, the title might refer to something rather salacious but Kurozumi's melody comes across as being rather chipper and light-hearted; more a breezy walk in the park rather than a roll in the hay.
On J-Wiki, he's been categorized as a J-AOR singer instead of a City Pop performer and "Tsumibukai Yoru" has that Margaritaville feeling to add to that argument. The song came out some three years following his 1976 debut single and in 1979, he was on a nationwide tour with the band Godiego（ゴダイゴ）when he released his sophomore effort.
I know it is the same singer and the same song but the second video's audio seem much clear, louder, and fuller than the first at least to my ears.
ReplyDeleteYup, you're correct there.
