this album is on top of everything I have ever heard before. production, emotion, musicianship... this might be the best piece of music ever written - I am in love!
I didn't discover any of this music until well after the 80s! I enjoy finding more and more music from the past that I missed out on, and share it here so others can enjoy it :) I hope this answers your question!
Listening to this song for the first time…
…and this may just be my favorite song EVER.
Wow….just….wow…
THAT BASSLINE CAME FROM HEAVEN! Yurie Kokubu's music is all bangers!
I'm so used to the version with the loud screech towards the end, it's weird without it now lmao
The mastering on this cut is spectacular. The snare just pops and the bass is so gutteral and punchy. Love it

The groove is out of this world. Holy hell...
Why this Masterpiece of perfection are out of spotify?

The sound of Sunday night
If it moves funk it
Land of the Rising Honda!
I'm feeling you bro, exact same for me. This track is like a time machine to me...back when I was just a young apprentice funkateer.
@@Hedgehogsinthemist123 you have that show too?
@@johnfoster6765 I did but a DJ friend took my tapes away and I haven’t seen them since. They were a bit knackered after 35 years though
@@Hedgehogsinthemist123 oh blimey. There is a user on here called bonkeyboat who puts a lot of Robbie’s shows up.
I can never tire myself of listening to her gorgeous voice, Miss Kokubu!!!!
Fantasized Nostalgia. This is what this whole album is all about. Taking you back to a dream place where you have never been.
A roadster. A sunset in japan. Driving along the beach to the left, and the mountains to your right. A beautiful loving wife on the left seat. Put on your sunglasses. You've made it
Giacomo Vaccari that’s the dream baby.
You forgot to include this song, mate!
@@ronaldofortunato4486 dumb ass he is describing what is being seen while this song plasy M8. its understood this song would already be playing twat.
I've got all that but nothing left over for retirement. Time to move...
Ci hai preso in pieno, sarebbe un sogno che si avvera
