Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Kengo Kurozumi -- Lusia

 


Number: 094

Lyricist: Naoko Nishio

Composer: Kengo Kurozumi

Arranger: Masaki Matsubara

From Kurozumi's 1982 album "Again"

It goes without saying that Kengo Kurozumi(黒住憲五)is absolutely great with the medium-tempo songs. Especially this song, "Lusia". It feels just like a gentle sea breeze soothing the heart of anyone who has tired of the urban lifestyle. Kurozumi's refreshing vocals along with the peaceful mood evoked in the lyrics and the refined arrangement by Masaki Matsubara(松原正樹)have really grabbed me so there is nothing else left to say.

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