Kohei Dojima -- Soshite Bokura wa Kanade Au ~ We Play Music(そして僕らは奏で合う)

 

Nice summery day out there which contrasts with what the forecasters had threatened last weekend about this week's weather. We could do with some rain, though.

Let's begin today's round of KKP articles with something just as nice and summery. Some elegant piano launches the wonderful "Soshite Bokura wa Kanade Au" which basically can be translated into that English co-title that it comes with. Written, composed, arranged and performed by Kohei Dojima(堂島孝平)for his June 2005 album "White and Blue", it's a really feel-good pop song with some rock guitar thrown in there for good measure, and I would love to know who's behind the horns. It sounds like Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Dojima's arrangement of his tune reminds me some of what Original Love and Flying Kids had been doing about a decade before.
