Little River Band - Reminiscing (1978)

I have heard this song when I was child, loving the chord progressions of this song. But I didn't know the title of this song until 20 years old.

It's Too Late - Mayumi Itsuwa

A groovy cover version of Carol King's It's Too Late by a Japanese singer songwriter Mayumi Itsuwa.
Recorded in 1974.

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you

But it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
It's too late my baby

Nick Drake Pink Moon

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.


...feel like Haiku.

Perfect Angel - Stevie Wonder Tribute to Minnie Riperton 1979

He sings this song and "loving you" from 5:25.

A part of "Perfect Angel" was sang in his concerts as intro for "You are the sunshine of my life". It can listen on several bootlegs e.g. Rainbow Concert, I wish his mid 70's concerts will be released officially.

Raul Midon "Someday we'll all be free" @ La Maroquinerie (Paris)

I have saw his show for promotion in Oct at UNIT, Tokyo. I was temporarily speechless by his excellent performance. His personality is also gentle.

This is a cover of my favorite Donny Hathaway's song. How spiritual!



Check out his new album. Pre-order now!


This title will be released on February 2, 2010, though it has been released in my local.

Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger



Really cool video. This anime was produced by Matsumoto Reiji who is a well-known creator of SF Manga in Japan. When I was a child in 70's, we avidly read and watched his works such as "Space Battleship Yamato", "Galaxy Express 999".





This is the sampling source, "Cola Bottle Baby" by Edwin Birdsong.
