Mikio Masuda -- All About You

Well, we did get a light brushing of snow this morning although so far it's nowhere near those four inches that had been forecast yesterday. However, the day is still young; we'll have to see what more comes down by tonight.

Earlier this year, I posted an article regarding a track, the frenetic "Sonic Barrier", from musician Mikio Masuda's（益田幹夫）1980 album "Silver Shadow". This time, I've got a far more relaxing track from the same album titled "All About You". This time, it mixes the fusion with blues and it has that feeling of contemplation or gratitude for that special someone. I don't think the title "All About You" sounds anything like an admonition as the phrase that has been used like "Oh, it's always all about you, ain't it?". Considering the weather outside my window today, "All About You" seems perfect but what might make it even better is just having that quiet cafe conversation as this is playing.

Now, as for the reason that I've put up WFan's glorious photo of those West Shinjuku buildings, I've enjoyed the cover of "Silver Shadow" for its shot of fog-shrouded towers west of Shinjuku Station, buildings that I think still exist despite all of the renovation taking place at the station itself. Tokyo has some very photogenic areas but West Shinjuku will always remain one of my favourites.
