Minako Yoshida - Twilight Zone
What if Laura Nyro was more melancholy and also Japanese? This album answers that question and the result is really damn good, Tatsuro Yamash
ita's production is slick and immaculate but never overbearing, there's some nice jazzy instrumentation here and there but you never forget this is Minako's record, her beautiful voice always stands out, her style reminds me a lot of Laura but without Laura's more abrasive tendencies.
Perfect album for when you're a sad weeb on a rainy night.
