It does redeem itself with the epic вЂњSolid SliderвЂќ which would be a great curio for any disco dance in 1977, a foreign wonder from the East thatвЂ™d liven and mystify any dance, thus creating awkward but original dance moves of the stilted variety not seen before. This is my ignorant problem though, not the albumвЂ™s! IвЂ™m talking tracks B2-B4 here mainly - the problem is that with slower pop ballads I kind of need lyrics to be a focal point. ThatвЂ™s commendable, theyвЂ™re recorded and nicely sung by the big T-man. ThatвЂ™s not funk, is it? No, theyвЂ™re played well and have a, well, nice synth sheen to them at least. Well, I mean, at least four songs are kind of slow adult contemporary sunshine-pop things. It also helps me focus in on the instruments which I canвЂ™t always do with the often-unbeatable English choruses I sing out loud when theyвЂ™re playing.

Plus the uninhibited fun that Japanese media exudes is a bonus thing at play in giving this that extra boost. This may be ignorant of me to say but having City Pop alerted to me is a blessing because of the fact that these groove as hard as any funk/soul record while being in a language I donвЂ™t understand does help proceedings. Sometimes the thing getting in the way with me truly getting down with a funk record are the dated, cheesy and sometimes plain bad records which can get in the way of a good groove. Perhaps I was wrong, as was my friend who recommended it, to see this as a merely seasonal album, conflating the happy and bubbly overtone as being confined to a season, in the same way we seem to confine those same feelings towards certain periods of time & life, all too ready to write them off as we enter each day a bit older & by our own (tragic) perception, further from itвЂ¦.byвЂ¦grizol вЂ¦.~

I found myself drawn to the bars I usually walked by without second thought, and found myself seeing in others a degree of reciprocity that I longed since stopped searching for.

The album is infectious and I found it brought a sort of bright depth to my wanderings, as though each passer-by was on a small adventure just like me, the city full of acquaintances, all one large open-air summer bar, the music (could they perhaps feel it, if not hear it?) filling the space and rustling the leaves overhead.ДЄnd the sound, to my surprise, applied just as well my walk home in the early darkness typical of the season.

The type of weather I associate with the вЂdingвЂ™ of automatic doors and the rush of cool air against my face as I enter convenience stores to get Arizona green tea, which I did then, no doubt. I first listened to this album in the late summer here, on the lazy weekend afternoons, wandering around the outskirts of the city and feeling the sun on my face, the streets strangely devoid of cars.
