SYNOPSIS

Released as Tatsuro Yamashita’s very first solo single, Windy Lady / 夏の陽 marked the beginning of his legendary career outside Sugar Babe. Backed by Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and other key figures of the era, the record blends breezy West Coast–inspired grooves with Yamashita’s unmistakable harmonies and sunny melodic sense. Both tracks radiate the warmth and sophistication that would come to define city pop, making this debut single a cornerstone for collectors tracing the roots of Yamashita’s sound.
