Makoto Matsushita - First Light
Makoto Matsushita - First Light
Japan Original Pressing.
A landmark Japanese AOR / city-pop album with sunset warmth, airtight groove, and quiet perfection.
First Light is one of those records that now stands far beyond cult status. As Makoto Matsushita’s solo debut, it blends smooth AOR touch, clean rhythmic control, and soft coastal atmosphere with remarkable balance, and that balance is exactly why the album has kept being rediscovered and reissued. Rather than flashy excess, its strength is in the precision—warm, melodic, and deeply refined, with the kind of effortless groove that makes it feel definitive.

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.
