It's been much too long since my last post. Here is a listing of some of the most beautiful Japanese songs in existence:
1. Raiya no Uta
It's one of the songs from Jungle Taitei. I owned the 45 RPM back in the 70s and lost it. I was fortunate to find it on YouTube recently. Hearing it again after 30 years, I think it is THE most beautiful Japanese song ever recorded. I believe Raiya is known to the West as Kitty. I watched the entirety of Jungle Taitei in Japan in Japanese in B&W.
2. Midori no Hidamari
This is the shudaika from Yamanezumi Rocky Chuck. I never saw the series but loved the song.
3. Kikoerukashira
From Akage no Anne.
4. Hot Stuff
From Cat's Eye. I'm not sure if this song belongs on this list since it's entirely in English.
