The last time I had singer-songwriter Seishiro Kusunose（楠瀬誠志郎）on the byline, it was back in 2021 for his 1987 "Elevator Town" which was catchy because of the jazz and that supreme four-on-the-floor drumming.
Well, after around four and a half years, Kusunose is back on the byline with "Parody Date", a track from his August 1991 6th album "Suusen no Hoshi"（数千の星...Thousands of Stars）. I have no idea what a parody date is...it sounds like a plot device that would pop on a Japanese rom-com or a comedy anime but hey, the song itself is catchy enough.
I mentioned that jazz and the four-on-the-floor for "Elevator Town". Well, for "Parody Date", it's all about the Latin jazzy brass and the feeling that listeners were meant to do a cha-cha on the floor as well. It's OK...just close the drapes and you can have fun without anyone knowing. Anyways, Kusunose was behind the happy melody while Shota Namikawa（並河祥太）provided the lyrics. Satoshi Takebe（武部聡志）arranged everything into its cha-cha form.
