Career edit
Kisugi started work with Yosui Inoue's band in 1972. He debuted as a singer-songwriter with the single Asai Yume, released in 1976.[5] His popularity and fame increased in 1979 after the release of a domestic hit, My Luxury Night, performed by Hatsumi Shibata.[5] In the 1980s, he produced many hits of the kayōkyoku genre, including "Second Love", "Silhouette Romance", and "Goodbye Day".[5] His best known song as a performer, Yume no Tochu (夢の途中),[6][7] was covered by teen-age idol Hiroko Yakushimaru as Sailor Fuku to Kikanju (セーラー服と機関銃) for the movie of the same name, and became a huge success. He recorded the first ending song of Maison Ikkoku, "Ashita Hareru ka". In 1991, he wrote and recorded the song "What a Way (To Show I Love You)" with Gilbert O'Sullivan. Another song on which they collaborated, "Can't Think Straight", was featured on the Japanese edition of O'Sullivan's studio album Sound of the Loop.[8]
