Crying In A Storm涙の太陽/エミー・ジャクソン


 This is the song I heard everyday (no exaggeration) from someone's turntable in my Taita freshman year.  Then when I was at the Cheng-Gong Ridge成功嶺 for the 2 months summer military training, this song and her other hit on the same album "Say Yes My Boy" were played EVERYDAY again through the loud speaker during the break.  In 2002, upon some hard searching, I was shocked to find out it was produced in Japan.  My great Aunt lives in Kagoshima and she inquired for me the recording in a local music store.  They were so nice as to send me a CD version of "the Emy Jackson Album" (COCA-13946), free of charge (a GIFT) including shipping.
