Jazztronik feat. Miki Imai -- Searching for Love

 

Not quite there yet in terms of summer patio visits. Folks would probably want the temperature by some more degrees before those happen. Still, the sun has been out after a number of rainy days so we'll take what we can get right now and hope for warmer spring weather to result next week.

In the meantime, we can all get aurally comfortable and party-like with Tokyo DJ/pianist/producer Ryota Nozaki(野崎良太)and his collective Jazztronik. I wrote about his "Today" a few years ago and today I've got his even earlier "Searching for Love" from his August 2005 "Cannibal Rock".

I was wondering about that wonderful voice helping to propel the tropical dance club-loving "Searching for Love", and it happens to be veteran songbird Miki Imai(今井美樹). There's a lot in this one that reminds me of Mondo Grosso's way of getting folks to get up and dance, and maybe it won't be too long before we can all do that again in Toronto. Daisuke Kawaguchi(川口大輔)was responsible for the lyrics.



Hey, you can listen to the Rasmus Faber remix of it as well.

  1. Oh, I love "Searching For Love" as well as "Voyage", "Nanairo" and "Aoi Asagao". They are fully loaded with a strong summer vibe.
