She finally released a new mini album "Prism" on April 26th, 2023 for the first time in 16 years. And of course I have got it. I'm fascinated very much with her unchanged singing voice and her sound! It seems that "Cosmic Radio" listed in her album is her new pen name.
And as soon as that candy melts and leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth is when you realize that you're still in love even after they've already disappeared.
Oh man. This genre of music is literally what is keeping me together these days. I would like to bow down to the person who created this genre and kiss their feet. That might’ve been tmi, but it’s literally free therapy.
Vibe still unmatched, japan magic with Soul/Funk/RnB atmosphere is a perfect fit… When i listen to this masterpiecd i just imagine me walking around sakura trees with that perfect girl, Talking about things i couldnt with others 😢
Such a smooth groove, combined with Naoko's sultry vocals makes this a true City Pop classic. It's certainly one of my top 10 (if not top 5) City Pop tracks. I prefer tracks like this with lots of piano, and that jazzy slide guitar sound. It makes me wish I could go back in time to the excitement, glitz, and glamour of pre-Lost Decade Japan. My best friend's parents lived the ultra-rich life of corporate executive expats in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo during the late 80s and it sounds like their lives were insanely extravagant and flat out glamorously exciting, full of expense account-paid dinners at Michelin 3-Star restaurants (the finest restaurants on Earth), prestigious hotels, chic bars and nightclubs, and art and culture. I can't even imagine what it must have been like. It seems like the best parts of their lives, even more than after their kids were born. As a low-paid barista in loads of debt, such a life feels almost like they couldn't really exist.

@slowmotion82 Yes, but you said "city pop was already killed off by j-pop" which implies some direct causality when in fact it was more due to an overall change in the environment, not due to direct competition between musical styles
Candy, come closer to me Oh Candy, on a night like this Stay barefoot, just as it is Oh Candy You're my friend Open the door of your sorrowful room now And come here to me, at once Candy, soft and delicate Oh Candy, but you have very Firm eyes Oh Candy You’re my friend Living at this time woefully Is a sweet girl with long hair If I can't hold back my tears Not leaving a single drop Please pray for me here Candy, come closer to me Oh Candy on such a night Like tonight Candy, here without carrying anything (Yeah yeah) When I wake up tomorrow morning There'll be something new Inside my heart, I'm sure of it Candy, feel your heart Oh Candy and that'll Always be your proof Oh Candy You’re my friend Everything that is Reflecting in your eyes I want them to shine (Yeah yeah) Candy Oh Candy Candy, Candy (x2) Candy Oh Candy Candy

Ah! What a song. I discovered Plastic Love last week. Now diving deep into the J-City-Pop world , and it's just beautiful.
具島さんの完全復帰を願っています。同時代に双璧のように評価されていた葛谷葉子さんは、最近事前告知無く復帰されニューアルバムやラジオメディアなどに登場されてますが、具島さんもまた素敵なボーカルを聞かせてください。

Candy そばにおいでよ
Oh Candy そんな夜ならば 裸足のままで
Oh Candy You're my friend
哀しい部屋の 扉を今あけて
ここへおいで すぐに
Candy きずつきやすい
Oh Candy だけどとても そう 強い瞳の
Oh Candy You're my friend
せつないほど この時を生きてる
長い髪の sweet girl
こらえてた 涙なら
一粒も のこさず
祈るように どうか ここへ
Candy そばにおいでよ
Oh Candy そんな夜は
Candy 何ももたずに ここへ
明日の朝 めざめたら
新しい何かが
その胸に あるわ きっと
Candy 感じる心
Oh Candy それは いつだって あなたの証
Oh Candy You're my friend
瞳の中 映るもの全てを
輝かせてほしい
Candy
Oh Candy
Candy…
こんないい曲が、２０年前にあったとは、、、、、、、、、、、
This song deserves more love, it really is great.

具島直子さんのこと
不覚にも全く知らなかった…
This song is a hidden gem, and it should stay like that
sadly now it has 313k views, is not that hidden anymore :(
we have billions of people and a lot don't know but its a good thing they can hear her. Her voice is an angel @@mondruner
8cmシングルで持っていました。当時はTRFとか川本真琴が流行ってたのかな？若い私には少し物足りない曲でしたが、年齢が重なるとこの清涼感溢れる曲がたまらないですね。
That song is a pearl.
I love the voice of the man (Toshihiro Kirigaya) who accompanies Naoko when she sings at 4:03
声も曲も好きです もっと早く知りたかった
I would gladly love to have this song stuck in my head for the rest of my life!
具島直子さんの楽曲は30年経った今でも私の"favorite song"です。その昔、具島さんは神戸のKiss-FMでサウンドクルーとして、30分の番組を担当されていました。日が暮れた頃、彼女の少し舌足らずな声を聴くのが楽しみでした。彼女の楽曲は、少し前にCDのリマスター盤として再販されたので、気に入った方は購入してあげて下さい。
こんな人、今まで知らなかった。
とても良い。
Her voice is celestial.
And as soon as that candy melts and leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth is when you realize that you're still in love even after they've already disappeared.
本当に大好きです！
JAZZの雰囲気の楽曲、すこしバブルっぽいサウンドがすごく良いですね。
本当に好きでたまらない。名曲🎵💽

Open the door of your sorrowful room now
And come here to me, at once
Candy, soft and delicate
Oh Candy, but you have very
Firm eyes
Oh Candy You’re my friend
Living at this time woefully
Is a sweet girl with long hair
If I can't hold back my tears
Not leaving a single drop
Please pray for me here
Candy, come closer to me
Oh Candy on such a night
Like tonight
Candy, here without carrying anything
(Yeah yeah)
When I wake up tomorrow morning
There'll be something new
Inside my heart, I'm sure of it
Candy, feel your heart
Oh Candy and that'll
Always be your proof
Oh Candy You’re my friend
Everything that is
Reflecting in your eyes
I want them to shine

Really a this fantastic song 💖
I make beats and I came here to study Japanese City Pop and boy did Naoko exceed my expectations!! This is such a soothing Jam!
WILDLY good

Should be a music video, really good song 👍
perfect!!
Persona vibe
Hell yeah
That’s cuz shoji Megiro was inspired by music like this
for some weird reason, this song reminds me of my (actual ) ex-gf
and brings me to an imaginary life in the 1980s of Tokyo
