Favorite J-Pop Singles: trf / Samui Yoru Dakara

My Friend Dan used to videotape various different j-pop shows, most notably POP JAM and HEY! HEY! HEY!, but there were also a few shows he taped that featured PVs of the latest singles, and this single from "Tetsuya's Rave Factory" was one of them!  
The video shows Yuki and the gang hangin’ out and singing on an NYC stoop, and it always looked to me like they were on the set of Sesame Street! This was the first of many trf songs I would fall in love with, and eventually I HAD to pick up their extremely popular DANCE TO POSITIVE album as well!

Side Note: I remember j-pop buyer Dave inviting me over to his house to watch a TRF concert he had, since he knew I liked them so much. Now, I love trf's songs, and while I DO like those occasional dance breaks with Sam, Chihara and Etsuko, what I couldn't have imagined is how Bo-o-o-o-o-o-r-r-r-i-i-n-n-n-g an entire concert of extended dance scenes could be!
I also remember remarking that I thought Chiharu was "So sexy" and Dave and his wife looked at each other like "WTF"! LOL
