Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Tomoko Soryo -- City Lights by the Moonlight

 



Number: 037

Lyricist: Kuro & Kyozo

Composer/Arranger: Yasunori Soryo

From Soryo's 1977 album "City Lights by the Moonlight"

"City Lights by the Moonlight" took me by surprise once more in light of the fact that it had first made its appearance about 40 years ago. Its timeless sophistication makes it stand out within the history of City Pop and this is a masterpiece starlight tune showing off the ability of composer and arranger Yasunori Soryo(惣領泰則). He may have created something that was a little ahead of its time.

The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
