HARUKO KUWANA
SYNOPSIS
A shimmering example of late-70s Japanese soul and pop, Moonlight Island captures Haruko Kuwana’s silky vocals wrapped in tropical grooves and mellow AOR arrangements. With touches of funk, island rhythms, and that distinct city pop warmth, the album feels like a seaside escape bathed in moonlight. Both stylish and laid-back, it stands as one of Kuwana’s most memorable releases and a hidden treasure for city pop collectors.
