Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Makoto Iwabuchi -- Moonlight Flight（ムーンライト・フライト）

 

Number: 085

Lyricist: Makoto Iwabuchi

Composer: Makoto Iwabuchi

Arranger: Shigeru Suzuki

From Iwabuchi's 1977 album: "Super Moon"

As the title says, "Moonlight Flight" is a nice floating tune that promises a flight on a moonlit night. There is a world of city mellowness that infuses Shigeru Suzuki's (who was also responsible for this song's arrangement) masterpiece 2nd album "Lagoon", but this can also be enjoyed here, too. Makoto Iwabuchi's（岩淵まこと）voice seems to take on some of the quirks of Keiichi Suzuki（鈴木慶一）, and it's great how well his smooth vocals fit with the overall sound.

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