Anri -- Memorial Story

 


Remembering back to 2017, I posted an article on Anri's（杏里）November 1982 album "Heaven Beach". I recollect that I didn't do a total job on it but it was still fairly thorough so for all the intervening years, I didn't revisit it.

Well, there are still a few tracks that had yet to be covered and one was "Memorial Story". Written and composed by the singer, it's a very amiable and palm tree-friendly song that kinda brings in the California AOR sound, and it sounds perfect for "Heaven Beach". Without needing to rely on songwriters such as Toshiki Kadomatsu（角松敏生）, it's evident that Anri had that feeling for the genre as well.
