Daydream Coast

Daydream Coast / Naoko Kawai (1984)




DAYDREAM COAST
Naoko Kawai is a Japanese idle singer in 80's.

Ralph Johnson and Al McKay in Earth,Wind& Fire participated in song production.
I think it's quite high ranking music even it tastes little nosutalgic.
There are the melodies sounds like those of the United States in 80 's.
A male vocalist plays a duet with Naoko Kawai in English by 3 and 7,
I felt that the way where lyrics are English was more suitable for those song.

I like "Home Again, Alone Again" in slow emotion.
