Hiroaki Igarashi – Sailing Dream
Hiroaki Igarashi – Sailing Dream
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing.
Hiroaki Igarashi’s third solo set for CBS/Sony steers straight into breezy city-pop and light-mellow AOR, built around Shigeru Suzuki’s arrangements and a first-call studio team. Masaki Matsubara’s clean rhythm guitar and Jun Aoyama’s tight drums carry the yacht-soul pulse, with Chiharu Mikuzuki anchoring the low end—an unmistakable early-80s CBS/Sony sound.
Across the album you get seaside shimmer and radio-ready hooks: Indian Summer glides on loop-friendly chords, Asahi no Silhouette and Lullaby, Goodbye lean into smooth AOR changes, while Rakuen slips into mellow jazz-funk. For DJs and producers, several intros/outros are sample-friendly thanks to Suzuki’s clear sectioning and Matsubara’s crisp comping.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
