Monari Wakita -- Akai Skirt(赤いスカート)

 

Once 2010s aidoru group Especia decided to call it a day and disbanded in 2017, a few of the members went into their own projects including Monari Wakita(脇田もなり)who seems to have become the most active of the graduates.

I realize through past postings of her solo work that Wakita has managed to keep up the Neo-City Pop but within her first solo album "I am Only" from July 2017, I have come across the track "Akai Skirt" (Red Skirt) which brings together some jazz and synthpop into a pleasant and catchy mix about going one's way (especially with that percussion). And it was a delight to discover that words and music were provided by Yuko Iizumi(飯泉裕子)and Seiki Sato(佐藤清喜)respectively. Those two just happen to be the duo microstar and they've made their own beautiful music.
