SYNOPSIS
Released during the golden age of city pop, Heaven Beach captures Anri at her sunniest and most sophisticated. Produced by Toshiki Kadomatsu, the album blends breezy West Coast–inspired grooves, shimmering synths, and Anri’s radiant vocals into a soundtrack made for endless summer nights. With hits like “Last Summer Whisper,” it embodies the sparkling, carefree energy of early-’80s Japan while showcasing the polished studio craft that defined the genre. A quintessential city pop record, Heaven Beach remains both a fan favorite and a must-have for collectors chasing that seaside glow.
