I knew Off Course through the songs that had come on during all those 'Sounds of Japan' radio shows but had never known the name behind the distinctive voice. Well, the lights finally did go on in my memory.įind album reviews, stream songs, credits and award information for Jiko Best - Kazumasa Oda on AllMusic - 2002. She chirped up, 'Kazumasa Oda!' I put on a quizzical look but then my partner smilingly replied that he was once the lead singer of Off Course. To clarify, one day I was team-teaching with one of my teachers in one of my junior high school classes in Tsukiyono-machi when I asked one student who her favourite singer was. Kazumasa Oda-Oh!Yeah! Back in the late 80s, I had heard and not heard of Kazumasa Oda(小田和正).
