Oh No Now Again Album Blogspot

I think I was speaking with Marcos one time about how I had pulled myself away from Akina Nakamori's（中森明菜）albums past her 1985 release "D404ME". At the fourth dimension, I was still enamored enough with her singles that were getting her onto the diverse music TV shows, but in that location was a definite divergence between those singles and her album releases. For ane thing, none of those singles were put on her original albums for a few years, and for another, from borrowing and purchasing some of those albums such as "Fushigi" （不思議...Strange）, I did actually observe the tracks on them a trivial too strange for me. Therefore, information technology was more for me to patiently expect for All-time compilations past her.

Now I'm starting to realize that what I needed was time and appreciation of the bigger motion-picture show of kayo kyoku/J-Popular. In the instance of Akina's anthology material, I was simply too tied downward to her Oricon-friendly hits at the time. The singer really wanted to push the envelope a bit and delve into more interesting pop.

In all honesty, I did buy Akina's tenth studio album from December 1986, "Crimson" as an audiotape from Wah Yueh and listened to information technology a couple of times. Afterwards those two listens, I put information technology abroad in a drawer for my tapes and have never listened to it once more. That haunting cover photo of her and the seemingly non-Akina Akina songs just didn't practise it for me. Subsequently borrowing my friend's LP of "Fushigi" which was her previous release, one await at that cover photo from "Crimson" had me rolling my eyes. Ack, non again with the artsy stuff, I scoffed.

Well, now that I am well into the 21st century, I feel like I should flagellate myself with a long potent shoe horn for my snobbery (I've got a metallic one that tin can kill a man). I will put on that tape again later this night since I have heard the original recorded version of "OH NO, OH Yeah!" from "Crimson". Actually, I did hear the concert version of it on my videotape of "AKINA Eastward LIVE INDEX-XXIII" but didn't realize that it was from that original album (May fourteen 2022: NOPE! I must take been hallucinating or it was somewhere else that I heard it since looking up the videotape and CD on J-Wiki, "OH NO, OH Yeah!" isn't included there. Abject apologies!😬). It was an OK functioning but didn't especially think information technology was special forth the lines of that epic "Tattoo" which started things off. Simply once again, that was dorsum in the late 1980s.

I gotta say that if I had to choose among Akina's range of voices during her career, I will still have her dynamic vocals in the mid-80s earlier "Fushigi" that she besides used on her singles over her subdued and somewhat frail ones from the 90s onwards although I know that those latter vocals fit certain other songs past her.

The softer vocals practice come up out on "OH NO, OH Yep!" merely they do fit this ballad virtually potential forbidden love. And I now appreciate the words and music past Mariya Takeuchi（竹内まりや）. The melody has that certain genteel but urban atmosphere from the guitar, bass and synth as Akina sings about running to meet that paramour sub rosa somewhere in the big urban center. Is her significant other a swain work colleague, her boss, some persona not grata figure or even a same same-sexual activity partner? She's figuratively abreast herself over whether she should go on to pursue the matter and face possible social consequences despite the other feeling that this person is THE one for her.

I did use the discussion "snobbery" earlier, didn't I? Well, I could imagine someone similar Mariya or Akiko Kobayashi（小林明子）singing something this mature and then why couldn't I accept cutesy aidoru Akina singing this 1 in her other vocalism? I don't really take whatever acceptable excuses anymore. Therefore I volition happily accept eating some humble pie and find out more than about "Reddish". And so, I should especially when that first track and at least a couple of others were composed by the same Kobayashi, one of my favourite Japanese pop singers.

So to finish this on a wacky notation, I initially said "OH NO!" but now I may be proclaiming "OH YES!"
