1986 OMEGA TRIBE / Crystal Night (original 1987)

A staple of 80s Japanese AOR and light mellow sound. Featuring high “mellow” tracks like the urban smooth “I’ll Never Forget You,” the breezy “Ipanema Rain,” and “Phoenix,” which opens with an intro inspired by Marvin Gaye’s “I Want You.”

A 1987 release by the Carlos Toshiki-led Omega Tribe, blending sophisticated grooves with a polished, coastal AOR vibe.
