Emerald Shower (Clear Green Vinyl)

A landmark 70s city pop album where mellow grooves by Yasunori Soryo blend seamlessly with a clear, transparent vocal style.
Yasunori Soryo, who at the time was creating world-class sounds as Jim Rock, handled the arrangements for all tracks. This is Sumiko Yamagata's eighth album overall and her last original album with Nippon Columbia. The lineup is full of great tracks, including the pleasantly mellow grooves of "Horoyoi Eve" and "Anohinoyouni Hohoende" and "Ameagari no Samba" which depicts rich emotions with a light rhythm. An important work of 70s city pop where light, mellow sounds and clear, transparent vocals blend together.
