• Released in 1981, First Light is a pristine gem of Japanese city pop, blending silky jazz-funk, soft rock, and smooth soul with immaculate production and musicianship. Matsushita Makoto, a guitarist and member of ABs and later fusion group Paradigm Shift, delivers a record thats both breezy and sophisticated. The album feels like a sunlit drive along a coastal highwaylayered with shimmering guitars, mellow synths, and lush vocal harmonies. Tracks like First Light, September Rain, and Love Was Really Gone highlight the tight arrangements and Matsushitas refined sense of melody and rhythm.
