Water Heart moves between mellow city pop, soft AOR touches, and clean mid-tempo grooves, with Hiroshi Shinkawa’s arrangements giving the whole album a polished, cohesive flow. “Night Flight,” written by Kingo Hamada, is the obvious standout, but “Keep on Shinin’,” “Ai wa Mellow Yellow,” and the bossa-tinged opening track also make this LP more than a one-song find. The presence of players like Masaki Matsubara, Shigeru Suzuki, and Fujimaru Yoshino only strengthens the appeal for listeners who buy these records as much for the personnel as for the mood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TtdbmgPujAU?si=GLpXMVmZRFoaVlRj\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UWd8zTRsuZI?si=JN9Jjm4j0CgPOR5U\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aFB4geCUxNY?si=vYdttCTb-ojT7Pu9\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"RECORD MONSTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43066415644881,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/9413\/0641\/files\/IMG_3968.jpg?v=1776424184","url":"https:\/\/www.recordmonster.net\/products\/sumiko-toyohiro-water-heart","provider":"RECORD MONSTER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
