Mayumi Kojima - Anoko No Kare--Sharing Music I Like

Way back in 2002 or so, when I was still living in Japan, I bought an album by Kojima Mayumi on a whim.  (Wikipedia article here).

I was, at that time, trying to get more into Japanese music, and would occasionally just by an album on a whim if it looked cool to me.  (Looking back, it strikes me now as a huge waste of money, but I was a bit more impulsive in those days.)  Anyway, I bought a lot of dud albums in this way, but Kojima Mayumi was one that I really liked.  I ended up going back to the store later and buying all her albums that I could find.

Going through my blog archives, I'm a bit surprised to see that I've rarely mentioned her on this blog before, given how much I was into her at one time.  (I mentioned her briefly in this post here, but that's it.)  Well, time to make up for that.  Here's one of my favorite songs by her.

I should also note that I was never successful in getting any of my friends to like Kojima Mayumi.  I shared her music with a lot of my friends back in those days, and none of them were ever impressed by it.  So, you know, take me with a grain of salt.  Maybe this music isn't really that great--maybe it's just me.

But go ahead and give it a listen and decide for yourself.
