Yamashita Tatsuro released his 52nd single “RECIPE”, the theme song to the Kimura Takuya drama “GRAND MAISON TOKYO”.
The single comes with the insert which is a bi-fold with lyrics of both vocal tracks. Artwork of the mouthless Yamashita character continues to be illustrated by Tori Miki.
The single kicks off with “RECIPE”, a synth and guitar-driven track driven by Yamashita Tatsuro’s vocals.
The song is about “Let’s make a happiness recipe”, boil the mischievous and madness, make the thoughts of one another become one. Throw a little spice into a pot of smiles, no shapes will remain, make a happiness recipe.
It’s a simple, happy and delightful song written and features instruments played by Yamashita. A song that makes you want to sing to it!
The second track is a live version of his popular song “Southbound #9” which was included in his 1998 album “COZY”. The live track was recorded live at NHK Hall back on September 7, 2019.
The coupling track continues Yamashita’s consistency of utilizing a live track as a coupling song and for any fan, any live track releases from Yamashita is great, considering the last live album from Yamashita was back in 1989 with “JOY – TATSURO YAMASHITA LIVE-“.
And the final track is the karaoke version of “RECIPE”.
Overall, another enjoyable CD single from Yamashita Tatsuro! Recommended!
