Wow! The series "Aibou"（相棒）has been on so long that even with all of the partners that refined detective Sugishita has had for close to a quarter of a century, the producers have gone back to the original aibou. The man still has time for his cup of tea.
Thespian Yutaka Mizutani（水谷豊）has been Ukyo Sugishita for so long that it may be easy to forget that he once had a recording career. And in fact, all of my articles on his singing are based in the 1970s and 1980s. However, a few weeks ago, the actor appeared on "Uta Con"（うたコン）to introduce his first digital single in a decade, "Omoihateru Made" (Until My Heart Is Spent), which got released on June 30th.
Listening to "Omoihateru Made" a few times, it comes across as if Mizutani were trying to channel his inner Masayuki Suzuki（鈴木雅之）. Although his voice doesn't really equate with the one owned by the God of Love Songs, he does a game performance with the song that was even written and composed by him. The song would give a nice little zip to any action scenes in his "Aibou". Yoshiki Yamamoto（山元よしき）was responsible for arrangement.
