It's been a while since Seri Ishikawa（石川セリ）has been up here on "Kayo Kyoku Plus", so I've got some of her "Desire" for a Sunday. And no, it has nothing to do with Akina Nakamori's（中森明菜）signature song that would come out in 1986.
Ishikawa's "Desire" actually was a track on her September 1985 album, "Rakuen"（楽園...Paradise）. Written and composed by Moonriders' drummer Tetsuro Kashibuchi（かしぶち哲郎）, it's got that 80s combination of thrumming bass synth and boppy bass so I think I can hear this on many an American cop show from that decade as background music. Yeah, it's an upbeat pop song of the times. I also wrote about another track on "Rakuen", "Ai no Bunryo"（愛の分量）back in 2020, so give that a gander as well.
This song feels fresh and bright! Seri Ishikawa's voice is also strong and cheerful! A little bit a triva Seri Ishikawa is married to the artist/singer Yōsui Inoue, and one of their three offspring is the lyricist Sarasa Ifu.
ReplyDeleteAs I figure, their marriage has been one of the most secure in Japanese show business.
