EACH TIME

Eiichi Ohtaki

The review

The third season since the peak of the Niagara melodic style on A LONG VACATION. As natural colors dissolve into peppermint blue, gentle voice and track carry a fresh wind not only to a summer shore but also to a winter lake. Sweetness, bitterness and a faint aftertaste, each for its own moment. The soft-rock romanticism feels more like a cocktail than a soda now. A3 is placid, A5 has a supple sense of love, and B2 holds a ship in a glass bottle. B3 follows on the great Ohtaki road as a slow, mellow groove.
