Watashi no Sweet Memories - Ai to Kanashimi no Showa Kayo -

[Machine Translation] Producer Kojiro Hayashi and vocalist Mikako Aoki have selected a number of Showa-era songs and arranged them in the style of Mikako Aoki and Sweet Memories for this nostalgic yet new album. Pianist Kazuo Ota is in charge of arrangements, and "SWEET MEMORIES," "Machibuse," and "Mizuki no Koi" have been renewed with a little spice. The original songs by male vocalists, "Suit yourself," "Garandu," "Yagiri yo Yomogita mo Arigatou," "Hatsukoi," and "Till we meet again," have a new taste sung by a female vocalist. The Latin hit "Papa Loves Mambo," once covered in Japanese by Tadao Takashima and Chiemi Eri, will be performed in a fun and lighthearted new arrangement. The album also includes 11 songs, each with its own flavor: "Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyunkei," a Showa-era enka classic, with a jazz twist, and "Kita no Yado Kara," a Latin-inspired version. The album is a collaboration with the jazz trio "Sweet Memories" (Pf:Kazuo Ota/Bass:Nobushi Ide/Dr:kanta), who regularly performs at jazz live bars with Mikako Aoki. <profile>As a student, he was a member of the chorus club and studied vocal music.
