Yoichi Takizawa “Endless Summer(Kagirinaki Natsu)1982 Mix” However, this “tragedy of being shelved” had not been only under misfortune. Here, we unveil the superb journey of this “mir...moreaculous city pop album” and its key track “Endless Summer(Kagirinaki Natsu)” rediscovered in the Reiwa era. Original source (2024/09/25): https://www.mag2.com/p/news/616321 Prologue: A Cassette Tape My Mother Bought It all began in 1982. One day after I just started first grade, my mother bought a cassette tape at a local record store called “Harp” which was run by an elderly couple in our neighborhood shopping district. Since then, we had played this cassette tape which said “Best One ’82 Hi-Fi Set The Complete Collection” (1982/Alfa) on the label in our kitchen for almost 2 years. My mother listened to it while cooking, washing dishes, and doing other housework everyday. For my younger brother and me, it was like a lullaby. Unsurprisingly, we memorized most of the songs from this cassette tape. The physical cassette tape. Best One ’82 Hi-Fi Set The Complete Collection When my mother was a student, she was a huge fan of the folk group “Akai Tori”(Red Bird) which was known for their hits like “Tsubasa wo Kudasai” and “Takeda no Komoriuta”.

This photo was taken in 1980, and you can see my mother doing housework in our kitchen and one-year-old my younger brother disturbing her. We put a cassette deck on the right side. This cassette tape had “Graduation Photograph(Sotsugyo Shashin)”, “Central Freeway(Chuo Freeway)”, “The Afternoon Seawall(Umi wo miteita gogo)” and “Rain Station(Ame no Station)” written by Yuming, including one bossa nova-style song  starting with its flowing strings. This bossa nova-style song was titled “Memorandum” and it featured haunting lyrics by Rei Nakanishi, such as “A pitiful bird with broken wings”. Single Edition “Memorandum” by Hi-Fi Set in 1977 I couldn’t forget especially “Memorandum” because it made a big impact on me. Though I was only seven years old then, it was possible for me to understand that this song was about lost love and had beautiful melodies and harmonies. Hi-Fi Set “Memorandum” In hindsight, this encounter was the beginning of something miraculous.
