ON THE CITY SHORE

With A1's refreshing intro—like cutting through waves as a breeze opens a curtain—the album begins. A2 conveys feelings that seem ready to leap into a lover's arms, while A4 sings of a vision transformed into a strange wooden doll. A5 is a title-song-like groove buoyed by a walking beat; its chorus overflows with a mellow sensibility. B3 carries a sense of distance, yet its dark tone stirs a curiously powerful passion. This self-produced album established Kadomatsu's name, and it also marked the beginning of his association with the AIR label.
