KATSURAGI MARIKO - VINYL SEASIDE HIGHWAY [VINYL]

Popis - SEASIDE HIGHWAY [VINYL]:
With unprecedented prosperity and growing worldwide fame in broadcast, games and synthesizers, the 1980s Japan entered a golden decade. New genre splashes from technopop, Pacifica, and AOR/City pop merged local sensibilities with jazz-funk and Latin influences. Looking to bet on the city pop phenomenon, a group of young, just out-of-school in-house studio players gathered for ad hoc recording sessions between 1982-1986. Spearheaded by up-and-coming associate producer and arranger Joe Hasegawa and keyboardist Mariko Katsuragi, their goal was to produce a hit album concept with a musical journey from Japan to Asia and beyond.
