I love my various sandwiches but one of my favourites is Chicken Salad Sandwich. All I need is chunks of chicken and generous dollops of Kewpie Mayonnaise along with a few more ingredients and it's time to stuff it between two slices of bread. I will be a happy camper.😋And of course, that's what I had for lunch today.
Several years ago, I introduced a 1990s pop duo with the name of Tokyo Q Channel（東京Qチャンネル）and the song "Ni-juu-kyuu-sai"（29歳）from their 1995 debut album "Switch On!". It was quite the luscious classy song about a woman celebrating the end of her 20s.
Well, from their second and final album "SandWich" from September 1996, I give you the penultimate track "Genshoku no Kuni ~ Where Shall We Go?" (Land of Primary Colours) which is mostly a simple pop love song before it goes into power ballad mode near the end. It's not quite as epic as "Ni-juu-kyuu-sai" but it still fulfills its purpose as a contemplative cool-down song near the end of the album. It was written and composed by one-half of the duo, Yasuhiko Warita（割田康彦）, with Mayumi Sudo（須藤まゆみ）on vocals.
I guess they are going for the North American 1950'/60s diner look on the album, but the song sounds very much like something from the 1980's.
ReplyDeleteHi, Brian. Yup, it's a pretty contemporary song although from the cover, I'd been expecting something rather kitschy.
