Besides making cassette tape mixes of the latest J-pop hits, my friend Dave would also make copies of Live J-pop performances he had, including past years’ Red and White Song Festivals and Record Taishos, as well as concerts of artists he’d acquired.
One VHS tape he made for me included THREE videos, an Asaka Seto video Clips Collection (Yes! Asaka Seto sang!) a KIX-S Video Collection (remember these girls?), and a superb live concert from a lady named Miho Morikawa! Wow, this was a really GREAT live show with energetic performances and hella catchy songs, and above all the one I loved most was the song she opened the show with. Having no tracklisting, I had no IDEA what the song was called, and it wasn’t until my friend, who was a big Miho Morikawa fan, watched it and told me the song she was singing was a little ditty called Blue Water.
Man, did I love this song! And it was funny- Dave made this VHS tape for me and made me love all the songs in that show, but for some reason, the only Morikawa Miho song he ever put on any of his J-pop mixes was a song called “99 Generation”, an OK song but nowhere near the league of Blue Water or (her other great single), Mezamete Venus. Oh well, my friend came to my rescue and got me a copies of both Miho’s singles so now I've got 'em!
Check out this awesome song!
