It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. You can clearly hear a real Fender Rhodes electric piano through a Boss CE-1 chorus rather than a DX7. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Bill Okonkwo SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 19,200 bps "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"

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. -- Andrei Ito *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
