This will be the second installment of a two-week consecutive release project featuring popular voice actor Isamu Hayashi as vocalist, following last week’s release of “Gatchaman Song.” This time, we’re covering “Juggler” by Kengo Kurozumi, released in 1983. This song was also included on the B-side of the single “White Summer,” which has already been covered by RE:J-POP, and is a perennial favorite among city pop fans. The arrangement pays utmost respect to the original song’s calm groove and sophisticated sound that blends jazz elements, while focusing on bringing out the charm of the song through Hayashi Isamu’s expressive vocals. When Hayashi Isamu heard this song, he said, “It was exactly what I wanted; I thought, ‘This is a great song, I want to sing it,’ right away.” That initial impulse has been beautifully sublimated into delicate vocal work that exudes a mature sexiness. Along with the “Gatchaman Song” that has already been released, we hope you enjoy Hayashi Isamu’s multifaceted charms as a vocalist. Isamu Hayashi Profile
