Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five

Artist: Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five

LP: 7" single

Song: "Kokorogawari"
aka. "Change of Mind"

[ listen ]

I like the trumpet that accompanies the elegantly tortured vocals in "Kokorogawari" or "Change of Mind," one of my favorites of the Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five singles I found. Sadly, the song only made it to #32 on Japan's singles charts back in 1973. That's group leader Hiroshi Uchiyamada (1936-2006), third from the left with the square hairline, and vocalist Kiyoshi Maekawa is pictured on Hiroshi's right, with the spotty black and white tie.
