1981 · THE LISTENING ROOM

SEA BREEZE

Toshiki Kadomatsu

The review

In this startling first album, Kadomatsu—still a university student—made use of almost every fashionable form then available. Since the later image of him has become so familiar, many listeners must have been shocked by B1, the hard-edged first single. Yet even here, the elements of A2's restrained summer tune and the urban tracks on side B had already taken root.
