Glad that you could concur about "...Hi, Matt.<br /><br />Glad that you could concur about "Good Times", and it's always a battle between YouTube uploaders and the powers-that-be about those videos. I'm also fairly confident that some part of "Bouekifu Monogatari" will return online.<br /><br />I guess with all of these albums including those belonging to Nishimatsu getting their light of day again after so many decades, there is perhaps a feeling of redemption. My impression is that there are some Japanese who are still scratching their over heads (including some in the recording industry) as to why the more obscure Japanese albums are suddenly getting appraised and praise, but that's fine. I think there are also other Japanese folks who are also seeing the light, too.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-68959312607027305902019-07-05T20:15:57.295-04:002019-07-05T20:15:57.295-04:00Hi J-Canuck, absolutely love "Good Times"...Hi J-Canuck, absolutely love "Good Times" from what I've heard of it and I can definitely hear some elements of "Bouekifuu Monogatari" throughout the tracks that do exist on YouTube. It's such a shame that that album's been taken down entirely with only "A Night of Blue Roses" remaining as its own video, but I'm sure it'll resurface someday once all the copyright issues get cleared up. <br /><br />With that being said, however, I do hope to see some more Nishimatsu stuff on YT in the future—I wonder if he's ever made any live appearances on any of the major Japanese music shows back then (Yoru no Hit Studio is the only example that springs to mind at the moment). While "Good Times" was apparently effectively overshadowed by Akira Terao's wildly-popular "Reflections" album from what I've gathered I've definitely seen more obscure singers appear on Japanese television during the decade.
