난 일본 LP 구해서 듣는 수집가인데, 우연히 菊池 ひみこ의 앨범을 두어개 구해서 듣고서는 뒤로 자빠지는 줄 알았어. 세상에 1980년? 1982년? 그 때에 이렇게 세련된 음악을 했다고? 지금도 이렇게 멋드러진 음악은 듣기 힘든데? 菊池 ひみこ는 사카모토 류이치님처럼 좀 더 세상에 널리 알려져야 할 뮤지션이야.

遠い記憶の彼方、録画もしていなかったので、たった一度ＴＶで見ただけの映像。
断片的な記憶でしかないものの、けして忘れることはなかった映像。
まだ家庭用ＶＴＲがやっと普及し始めた頃の映像なので、もう見ることはできないんだろうとあきらめていました。
貴重な映像、ありがとうございます。
私のほうこそ喜んで頂けて嬉しく思います。
コメントありがとうございましたぁ。(^^)/
