7inch single released in 1984 by Takashi Hosokawa, a big name in the enka world. The standout track is latin/new wave meets enka "Hoshikuzu No Machi", composed and arranged by Keiichi Suzuki of Moon Riders. The downtempo-like rhythm and percussion arrangement are quite interesting. Maybe it was influenced by Saburo Kitajima x Yasuaki Shimizu released last year?!

演歌界の大物 細川たかしの84年の7インチシングル。注目はA面に収録のムーライダーズ鈴木慶一が作編曲を手掛けたラテン/ニューウェーブmeets演歌”星屑の街”が最高。ダウンテンポのようなリズムに打楽器アレンジがかなり面白いです。前年リリースのさぶちゃん×清水靖晃の影響もあるのかも⁉B面は思いっきり演歌です。
