片平なぎさ Nagisa Katahira - 陽だまりの恋

Review by Ariane Dias

Basking in the Sunshine: A Look at 片平なぎさ’s 陽だまりの恋 (1976) Alright, let’s dive into this little time capsule from Japan’s pop archives—陽だまりの恋 (Sun-Drenched Love) by 片平なぎさ (Nagisa Katahira). Released way back in ’76 on Toshiba Records, this Kayōkyoku gem is like a warm hug wrapped in a vinyl sleeve. And guess what? It still slaps. Kinda. First off, big props to the dream team behind it: lyrics by 有馬三恵子 (Mieko Arima), music and arrangements handled with finesse by 三木たかし (Takashi Miki), and vocals that make you go, “Wow, she really means it,” courtesy of Nagisa herself. Now, I’m not gonna pretend every track here is gonna blow your socks off, but there are two bangers worth gabbing about. Track Highlights 1. 陽だまりの恋 (Sun-Drenched Love) This title track feels like sipping lemonade under a cherry blossom tree—if cherry blossoms were sound waves. The melody tiptoes between sweet nostalgia and toe-tapping pep, while Nagisa’s voice floats above it all like a lazy summer cloud. What sticks with me most is how effortlessly smooth it feels—it doesn’t try too hard to impress you, which somehow makes it even more charming. Plus, those strings? Chef’s kiss. 2. さよならからはじまる (Starting With Goodbye) Okay, real talk: this one hits different. It starts with a melancholy piano riff that sets the stage for some serious emotional heavy lifting. The lyrics, penned by Mieko Arima, are basically an open letter to heartbreak, but instead of wallowing, they turn goodbye into a fresh start. By the time Nagisa belts out the chorus, you’re ready to either cry in the shower or burn old love letters. Maybe both. Honestly, if this song came out today, TikTok would eat it up faster than avocado toast at brunch. Why Does This Album Stick Around? Sure, 陽だまりの恋 might feel a bit dated compared to modern J-pop bops, but its charm lies in its simplicity. There’s no flashy production or auto-tune wizardry here—just pure, heartfelt artistry. Listening to it now feels like flipping through a photo album of someone else’s memories. You weren’t there, but dang, don’t you wish you were? And let’s be honest: isn’t that what great music does? It sneaks into your soul and borrows a corner of your brain for keeps. So yeah, maybe 陽だまりの恋 won’t replace your daily playlist staples, but it’s got enough oomph to remind you why we fell in love with pop music in the first place. Final thought? If this album were a person, it’d probably wear bell-bottoms and sip matcha lattes while waxing poetic about sunsets. Weirdly endearing, right?

デビューからファンクラブに入ってました。陽だまりの恋は新路線だったのでブレークすると思ったのですが…もう一度歌って欲しいですね

こんばんは。なぎささんは小学校のクラスの友達と新入社員だった時の職場の先輩が大ファンでした。この陽だまりの恋が一番印象に残っています。唯一オリコンの30位に入りました。この有馬＝三木コンビは珍しいですが、一番の想い出はステレオを買ってもらった時、最初にラジオから流れていたのがこの曲だったんです。またこの年はTBS白い秘密に田宮二郎さんと共演、演技が上手く女優へ転向の予感を感じさせました。
