This’s the original. I don’t like it as much though.

I just learned two things: That the song’s a cover, and that the title is ‘coconut’s unrequited love’. I like it even more now.

This was in the recs. when I was looking up the Same Old Scene video, put me in one of those 80s edgy night moods

I’ve been having a nice little listen to my Roxy Music and Brian Ferry playlist before I go to bed, and I’ve come to really like this song. Maybe not more than Love is the Drug, but not far off.

Chorus reminds me of some late 90s chillish stuff (that I’m not into), but the song has some real nice instrument parts, and a darker feeling. Really like that solo.

Also really like how it sits after Oh Yeah too. Thought that was a nice playlist coincidence, but it’s like that on the album too.

And here’s a cover version.

I found this song in a video of impersonations from モノマネ王座, then did some Google Translating to find the original. What a great voice. Song comes in swinging.

Had to replace video with a badly mixed one :(

Recently started a new blog project called Ｊ－ＰＯＰ　ＬＡＮＤＳＣＡＰＥＳ, so’ve been watching lots of J-Pop videos again. Haven’t turned-up much new stuff that I like, but the chorus of this song’s neat, and I’d never heard of Akiko Matsumoto before.

This’s since become a fave of mine. Love the grubby bass too.
