Featuring the soothing acoustic guitar-driven mellow mid-tempo track "Shiosai" and the DJ-friendly summer samba "Blue Wave," enriched with gorgeous string arrangements, this album offers a diverse collection of mellow, jazzy, and easy-listening-inspired Japanese pop. Kei Ishiguro's emotional, heartfelt vocals are beautifully complemented by sophisticated, groove-filled arrangements throughout.
Backing her is an all-star lineup of Japan's finest studio musicians, including Hiroshi Suzuki, Akira Okazawa, Yuichi Tokashiki, Tsunehide Matsuki, Haruo Togashi, Kentaro Haneda, Masaki Matsubara, Nobu Saito, and Susumu Kazuhara, whose outstanding performances elevate the album into a refined showcase of late-'70s Japanese groove and jazz-pop.
