ファーストフライト = First Flight

Hideki Saijo

This record captures the Kayōkyoku style by mixing Western trends with local ballad traditions. The arrangements are dense, supporting a vocal performance that emphasizes range and power.

The output feels cinematic, recalling the aesthetic of a car journey through the bright lights of a city at night. It represents a pivot toward a more refined sound, relying on tight musicianship to create a polished final product.
