My Keizo Nakanishi（中西圭三）phase focused on his early years between the early and mid-1990s so my knowledge on his work from then on is extremely sparse unfortunately.
Therefore, coming across this song for the first time not too long ago was a pretty good find. "Snowy Sun" is on his December 1999 album "Sunshine Groove". The groovy beats are there along with that amazing Keizo voice although I thought at the start of the song that his vocals and the rhythm didn't quite match up solidly. With that title, I thought that "Snowy Sun" must have been used as a commercial tune for ski wear or even a ski resort. However, it was actually used for Attenir Cosmetics.
Nakanishi composed the groovy and funky melody while Kanata Asamizu（朝水彼方）provided the lyrics. Meanwhile, Nobuo Ariga（有賀啓雄）was responsible for the overall arrangement. I'm not sure what Nakanishi has been up to over the past few years, but according to J-Wiki, it appears that he's still active performing at concerts.
