A Laserdisc I STILL Don't Have: "Hikaru Nishida in Los Angeles"

 

As I had mentioned before in my post gushing about Hikaru's wonderful debut concert "Manatsu NO Surprise",my primary goal was to get all of Hikaru's Concert laserdiscs, and while I (happily) succeeded in acquiring all of Hikaru's Live Releases, there were still many outlying non-concert laserdisc releases I'm missing, and one of them is the above pictured "Hikaru in L.A".

Not only Do I not Have the disc, I'm not even sure what's IN it. I see songs listed on the back cover. Is it an MV collection? Is it like Coco's "Waiiha De CoCo" where they just play the songs in the background while the artist is walking around town? Would DEARLY like to know!

Hikaru Does Her Best John Denver

Years back, some music reviewer said that it was really the John Denver renaissance, citing all his songs that were suddenly appearing in current movies. But I noted that all of the times they used his songs, it was in an ironic way, its sweet and innocent tone perfect for playing over crude and violent things. Think Juice Newton's "Angel of The Morning" during Deadpool when he is killing everyone and you get my point.

Anyway, here's Hikaru doing "Take Me Home Country Roads"...

PS: Take Me Home Country Roads was another song "Hawaiian-fied" by Bruddah IZ back in the day, maybe Hikaru will cover his version like how she did his take on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...

"For Your Elegant Life" and Hikaru certainly seems to be doing just that!!

Favorite Hikaru Nishida Songs: "Tokimeite"

 The wonderful album opener for Hikaru's excellent album "Esprit", this was Hikaru in her prime, all poppy, sunshiney sweetness and a perfect set-up for the rest of the tracks which together would collectively become my favorite record from her!

Already oozing with giddy goodness, Tokimeite was already a HUGE fave of mine, but it only got BETTER with the arrival of youtube where I was able to see her happily performing it for television!!!!!

Such a fun, genki performance!!!!!

“Tokimeite” had this elaborate fold out cover with pretty pictures of Hikaru throughout, packaging that made one wonder if Pony Canyon was making any money on the sale of these singles after spending so much on the presentation!

Oh, and Tokimeite is backed by another Esprit track "KISS", giving you double the fun for your dollar!
