The Pure Harmonies of Japanese Folk-Pop: Simons’ “Eien no Koibito”
The early 1970s was a golden age for the Japanese “New Music” and folk scenes, and one of the most beloved acts of this era was the female vocal duo, Simons. Their album “Eien no Koibito / Simons no Sekai” (Eternal Lovers / The World of Simons) is a beautiful collection that perfectly captures their signature sound. We are looking at the Japanese pressing on the RCA label, with the catalog number RVL-4001.
Simons, the duo of Yumi Tanaka and Mami Hishida, enchanted the nation with their pure, almost angelic vocal harmonies. Their music was a gentle and beautiful blend of traditional Japanese folk sensibilities and Western-style acoustic pop. This album serves as a wonderful introduction to their world, featuring their most cherished and well-known songs from their peak of popularity.
Listening to this record is like stepping back into a more innocent and gentle time. The songs are built around intricate, perfectly blended harmonies and delicate acoustic guitar arrangements, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and timelessly beautiful. It’s a quintessential example of the Japanese folk-pop that defined the early 70s.
For any fan of classic Japanese folk, 70s pop, or the simple beauty of two voices in perfect harmony, this album is an essential and heartwarming listen. You can find this album on our website.
