Jpop Recommend #466 Sayonara Rainy Station by Chika Ueda

さよならレイニーステーション　Sayonara Rainy Station

上田知華＋KARYOBIN　Chika Ueda and KARYOBIN, 倉田まり子


Released in July 1980, this song was released as one of the songs in the album, "上田知華+KARYOBIN[3]".  It was later covered by an idol singer, Mariko Kurata.  This was one of my favorite songs in my youth.  I liked her songs and kept remembering it from time to time.  Recently, when I looked up in the youtube, I found that Chika Ueda has passed away in 2021.  May her soul rest in peace...

Chika Ueda started her career while she is in the university of music.  She formed a band with a string quartet.  So her music has a unique classical tune with violins, cello, viola.  





Collaboration with Mariko Kurata
