KODOMO BAND tadoritsuitara itsumo amefuri 7A0674

A 7-inch single release from the prolific Japanese rock ‘n’ roll band Kodomo Band is the focus for this entry. We are looking at their 1986 single, “Tadoritsuitara Itsumo Amefuri,” released on the See･Saw / Kids Power Label with the catalog number 7A0674.

Issued on December 28, 1986, this 45 RPM vinyl captures the band’s sound from their “No Gimmick” album era.

The single features two tracks:
A: Tadoritsuitara Itsumo Amefuri (Long Version)
B: No Gimmick

The A-side is a notable cover version of the classic Japanese folk-rock song originally by Takuro Yoshida, presented here in a “Long Version.” The B-side is the title track from their 1986 album, “No Gimmick,” an original, driving rock ‘n’ roll number.

7A0674 stands as a great snapshot of the band’s mid-80s style, showcasing their ability to put their unique rock energy onto a famous Japanese classic, paired with one of their own solid rockers.
