Taeko Onuki is incredible. Her entire Mignonne album is straight bangers, been one of my favorites for a loong time now. Vocals and instrumentals are all top notch.
1988年の夏ですね。 1歳でこの映像を見た記憶がよみがえり、親に聞いたらテレビで見たと言ってました。大貫さんの柔らかい声と演奏、背景の絵など、私の現在の感性に影響を与えているような気がします。 It's the summer of 1988. I remember seeing this video when I was one year old, and when I asked my parents, they said they saw it on TV. Onuki's soft voice and performance, background paintings, etc. seem to influence my current sensibilities, and I am amazed and moved.
Onuki Taeko - the Profile (Verse 1) Might you talk to me, some time? I just want to sit by you, that's all. Never disturbing you, just sitting by. I wish I could listen to you too. On the edge of the table, I am looking at your profile. When you laugh out loud, I feel happy too. It's marvelous. (Verse 2) Surroumded by other friends, you don't remember me, no less. I murmured, "good bye" Will it reach to you? The profile at the moment, nobody knows, but I wish it could remain with you all the time.
Even though it sounds happy this song always brings a tear to my eye, especially because i discovered it a couple days after my turtle died and it reminds me of that time 🥺
I think it is 1988+ because there’s a song called Você é Bossanova from her album PURISSIMA released on 1988 too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rLwr9-0CdCg.html

Probably city pop. It was popular in Japan during 80's until that big crash, which Japan still hasn't recovered fully. You can listen artists like Miki Matsubara, Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya Takeuchi, Taeko Onuki and so on.
The original 1978 rendition is classified under city pop, but to me it sounds more 1970s urban folk with some jazz. This rendition on the other hand leans more towards swing. It has that more 1930s vibe, especially the first few minutes before Taeko sings.
Me pregunto si algún día te llamaré, quiero sentarme a tu lado. En la misma mesa. Estoy mirando tu perfil Si te ríes a carcajadas, Es extraño que me esté divirtiendo por alguna razón. Ahora estoy rodeado de diferentes amigos, No recuerdo Adiós pequeña murmuró Que llegue a mi corazónNo, no quiero que pierdas el rastro de ese viejo perfil. De los viejos tiempos
Esa es la letra en español, en verdad es muy nostálgica, si me dejo llevar por el año 1988 , yo era un niño y en ese tiempo había un canal cultural en mexico , canal 11 ,. Y alguna vez llegaron a transmitir un video de ella por ese canal.
