Tamao Koike = 小池玉緒* – 鏡の中の十月

A “hidden” gem from the production of Y.M.O. The song in itself sounds like crying in the rain, absolutely beautiful. She is cutting up the lyrics in perfect small portions, then she goes into a semi whispering tone that would melt the most macho of the Village People. Even though the song is kind of repetitive it never feels like it, there are so much small nuances going on with the synthesizers and her singing style that there is no way to stop the crying in the rain.
