The A-side of the ninth single "Ame no Hi no Blues/Wasurenagusa wo Kono Mune ni" released in August 1971 Lyrics: #Hashimoto Jun Composition and Arrangement: #Tsutsumi Kyohei Around 1970...The songs created by the golden duo of Hashimoto Jun-sensei and Tsutsumi Kyohei-sensei during the golden age of Showa pop music are a treasure trove of masterpieces. There are many masterpieces that have been buried, and when digging up single records, it is surprising how many buried masterpieces there are. The single we will be looking at this time seems to have been a hit at the time. However, what is particularly noteworthy is that both sides are equally excellent. The B-side song "Wasurenagusa wo Kono Mune ni" is a wonderful song that could easily be used as an A-side, and it is a masterpiece that is too good to be buried. Since Kyohei Tsutsumi took over after Yuko Nagisa had a string of big hits with the Ventures songs (the previous work, "Saihate Boujou," was also written by Haruo Hayashi and Kyohei Tsutsumi), he must have been very motivated to produce a hit. What's interesting is that there are two different jacket designs based on the motifs of the songs on both sides, probably because the songs on both sides are great. I happened to own both jackets, so I used the jackets of each song as the main theme to create the video. The songs that Kyohei Tsutsumi himself arranged during this period are truly wonderfully arranged and I'm fascinated by them. In this song, the cool organ sound reminiscent of Walter Wanderley leaves an impression. The sound engraved on the record is also rich and wonderful. Yuko Nagisa's singing is also wonderful.
