NATURAL MIND

Guitar runs in the family: an older brother's younger brother. Motoaki Masuo, younger brother of Yoshiaki Masuo, takes his second solo flight. He contributed a song to his brother's celebrated GOOD MORNING, and that romantic imagination is present here too. A1, sung by Takao Sakurai of the backing band Karaba, is a light song written with the world-famous Hawaiian model Agnes Lum in mind. B2 is the younger brother's own BECAUSE OF YOU sequel. In contrast to the steady, hardworking Yoshiaki, Motoaki comes across as an instinctive talent, with a somewhat unruly side. Even so, his gift for melodies overflowing with love is every bit his brother's equal.
