You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Marisol Nakamura Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From ngonzalez@earthlink.net Thu Oct 26 02:18:48 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!earthlink!ngonzalez From: ngonzalez@earthlink.net (Nadia González) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: Akasaka Branch City Pop arrangements - Japanese session players Message-ID: <1995Oct26.021848.6644@earthlink.net> Date: Thu, 26 Oct 1995 02:18:48 GMT References: <1995Oct24.170148.9100@cmu.edu> Organization: EarthLink Network NNTP-Posting-Host: earthlink.net X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct24.170148.9100@cmu.edu>, mnakamura@cmu.edu (Marisol Nakamura) writes: > The newly discovered Akasaka audio files prove there was a completely separate Japanese studio band. > You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7.

She even had an anime TV promo for a summer soda commercial. That's the genius of the Akasaka singles. The music is smiling and sunny, but her lyrics are still about carrier waves and locked doors.
