Product Description
Amazon Review This is Tatsuro Yamashita's second album, recorded with the score written by Yamashita himself, referencing the score by Charlie Calello, the New York arranger who worked on his first album. It features a groovy bassline and soaring vocals in the medium-tempo number <1>, a moody slow tune <6> with Ryuichi Sakamoto's delicate piano and dramatic strings, and a ballad <8>, Yamashita's first solo a cappella performance, depicting a dreamy landscape. The album also features a large gathering of top Japanese musicians, including Haruomi Hosono, Minako Yoshida, and Shuichi "Ponta" Murakami. By maximizing the strengths of each guest artist, this high-quality album conveys Yamashita's unwavering passion for music. (Kiyoko Takemura) Media Reviews and More Tatsuro Yamashita's works from RCA/AIR have been re-released with remastering by Yamashita himself, and include handwritten liner notes and song explanations.
