Recorded in L.A. with overseas musicians, this album blends kayōkyoku sensibility with a crisp West Coast sound. Includes the single “Misty Night,” the acoustic seaside ballad “Hotel Life,” the refreshing American pop-style “Please Mr. D.J.,” the English-sung West Coast rocker “Everyday,” the sentimental end-of-summer ballad “North Wind,” and the ska-tinged pop tune “Lovely Pumps.” A solid Japanese AOR / light mellow gem.
