Just a Kiss

Written in 1989 and 1996 / Recorded in 1989, 1996 and 2014

A piece of music I wrote while playing the piano in a bit romantic anxiety at the end of 1989. The initial demo sounded great but was filled with too many voices that easily reminded the strong influence from Todd Rundgren’s Just One Victory.
When it was converted to an instrumental piece, under a new recording scheme in 1996, the arrangement was simplified being requested from the singer of the band then I played with. In the meantime, I newly wrote the strings part that furnishes the guitar solo section in the middle and added it to this second attempt.

For making this video, I combined both demo recordings in order to make the best of them and also added some necessary pieces, which had been omitted from the 1996 work. I know the guitar solo at the ending is too long for entertaining the prospective audience but I just simply wanted to indulge in enjoying the moments I seized once again in a long long time.
