Ao No Jidai

[Machine Translation] As the eldest son of enka singer Ichiro Toba, Ryuzo Kimura has been familiar with music since he was a child. His first full-length album was produced by up-and-coming musicians with the keyword of "80's sound," which has become a worldwide trend. The melodies and words, colored by the outstanding sound, open up a new path in popular music. Since his debut, he has continued to make various attempts, such as traveling around Japan to perform live in a band style, and has finally completed a work that has allowed his talents to flourish. The album was produced by Kohei Dojima, Shinya Okuno / SOUL FLOWER UNION, Shinya Kigure / HICKSVILLE (Original Love, Kenji Ozawa, Etsuko Yakushimaru), AZUMA HITOMI (Akiko Yano), and other talented artists, and was produced with "80's sound" as the keyword. The arrangements and sound are based on the keywords "80's sound" and match the zeitgeist and Ryuzo Kimura's world view. The lyrics, with their unique Japanese flavor and emotionality, have been further refined, and together with the melodies that combine pop and strength, will surely strike the ears and hearts of many more people. Total of 12 songs (order to be determined).
