SYNOPSIS

The debut album from singer, songwriter, and producer Toshiki Kadomatsu, Reasons For Thousand Lovers helped establish him as a key architect of the city pop sound. Blending slick AOR grooves, tight funk rhythms, and breezy pop melodies, the record highlights Kadomatsu’s knack for sophisticated arrangements and his sharp ear for production. Radiating the polished, urban energy of early-’80s Tokyo, it set the stage for a career that would shape the city pop era and influence generations of Japanese pop music.
