Shiny [CD+DVD]

[Machine Translation] Kaori Kobayashi, a talented idol in the jazz world who has taken the next step, has released her long-awaited 4th album! Included "Black Sapphire", the OP theme of "Kosai Kazuki no Suing Life" in which she appears regularly! Produced and arranged by Toru Shigemi, who has worked with MISIA and Tatsuro Yamashita, this is the ultimate saxophone instrumental album, combining the smooth jazz sound of her previous albums with a touch of R&B to give it more of a groove. With the exception of the Doobie Brothers' cover of "Long Train Runnin'," all of the songs on this album are his own original compositions, and his saxophone playing as well as his compositional skills have been further enhanced. A DVD will be included with the music video for "Shiny" and a documentary film of the Korean concert in March 2007 (tentative).
