Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting away from his successful vocal albums, Kadomatsu delivered a pristine, entirely instrumental record celebrating Japan's booming coastal resort culture. The lush, synthesizer-drenched jazz fusion arrangements act as a premier example of the high-fidelity musicianship that defined the golden era of city pop.
