J-pop trio My Little Lover had the knack for turning out the absolute cutest sounding songs, as evidenced in such singles as Man and Woman, Hello Again and now their hop-jump-and-skip playful single SHIROI KITE!
There’s just something about Akko’s voice that makes you think of kids in a park on a sunny Sunday afternoon with the wind blowing the clouds across the clear blue sky, and though the lyrics of the song are actually quite somber, the melody gives it a decidedly optimistic and upbeat slant!
I remember back when My Little Lover had just arrived on the scene- there was so my buzz around them because of their connection to Mr. Children, (Takeshi Kobayashi was the same producer as well as a member of My Little Lover) and they came along just in time to take over the Beatlesy feel-good tunes as Mr. Children was slowly becoming a more serious and moody act!
Ah, this song just melts my heart with its good vibes and nostalgic melodies…
