SEASIDE STORY

There is a certain summer afternoon when mellow music seems to drift straight in from the sea. On SEASIDE STORY, Kosetsu Minami places his familiar, unforced singing inside a brighter and more polished setting. The acoustic foundation remains, but soft keyboards, chorus and a relaxed rhythm section turn it toward coastal city pop.

The album never strains for sophistication. Its appeal lies in how naturally everyday warmth and seaside light coexist. The songs feel like snapshots from a holiday remembered years later: slightly faded, affectionate and still carrying the smell of salt in the air.
