Although it was a B-side released in May 1989 in the 8 cm CD format, this track was chosen as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s variety show “Naruhodo! The World.” Written by Yasushi Akimoto, composed by MAYUMI, and arranged by Hiroshi Sakamoto, the song also appears on the album “HEART & SOUL.” As the title suggests, it portrays an afternoon filled with growing feelings for someone you long to see.

Despite peaking at No.

A mellow ballad where Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics and Tetsuji Hayashi’s beautiful melody blend exquisitely, gently enveloping feelings that are hard to put into words.

While showing compassion for a wounded loved one, the song captures the aching wavering of a heart that can’t reveal its true feelings, delicately expressed through Inagaki’s tender, embracing vocals.

Included on the third album “J.I.,” released in September 1983, this track shines with Akira Inoue’s nuanced arrangement.

The soundscape, calm yet meticulously tracing the flow of emotion, is a quintessential embodiment of mature AOR.

It has long been cherished among city pop fans as a classic that keeps you company on quiet nights alone or when you’re carrying words left unsaid.

A bittersweet yet beautiful song by Junichi Inagaki that likens a lover from days long past to a goddess.

The 16-year-old beloved, now a phantom forever out of reach, is overlaid with the image of a goddess of beauty.

Beyond the lyrics that vividly conjure the dazzling scenery of the Adriatic Sea, what truly defines the song’s allure is Inagaki’s crystal-clear, soaring high tenor.

The track was included on the album “Shylights,” released in February 1983, and this acclaimed record won the Best Album Award at that year’s Japan Record Awards.
