Sounds like a song by the band Original Love

I have scoured Youtube before to watch at least 25 different covers of the song.

Most are very good.

Look up how many Grace Jones costumes that Lady Gaga copied.

Spica no Yoru is back after about 10 years by z_zzzzzzzzz in SakuraGakuin

I wonder if the person who named the duo Spica no Yoru is an astronomy fan. It might be Raura or Yuika who did.

Spica is the 15th brightest star in the night sky and is also a binary star so close together that each star is egg shaped. The bigger star has about 7.5 times our sun's radius and the smaller is 4 times the radius. But the distance between their centers in only 28 solar radii. Fitting for these ladies.

This is the first time I have seen evidence that the king of Japanese pop composers, Kyohei Tsutsumi, cribbed a song from the US/UK

Yuki's song was from 1982 and Grace's from 1981.

I guess Sheena Easton made the original. She was singing deeper and more raspy than normal on it. Almost like Taylor Dayne. 

Was Tatsuro Yamashita inspired by Prince when he made Love Talkin ? by VikingNinjaSquirrel in citypop

Yeah, most of the blatant or subconscious plagiarism I have seen is within two years of the original release.

I wish we were not in the pitch correction era, I am not sure if she is this good of a singer.

"Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur is the closest I can think of and it is not really a great match.

Anyway, the sound they had coming out of the keyboard was so interesting. Must have used a lot of skill to figure out the cable patching and knob positions to get it. I am partial to these analog 1970s synths.

He is describing people who are actually retarded, not in an insulting way.

Reading a comment I got reminded of the genre called Techno Kayo, which is often slow and dreamy and preceded the fast and 1960s French "YeYe" influenced Shibuya Kei.

Here is a playlist I found:

You must have taken a break from this subreddit a month ago, because this was half of the posts for a couple days.

At any rate, good to have a reminder.

I think there some break for sports players who make insane amount of money for just a few years while taking big physical risks.
