Here's the description at Dusty Groove:
Shinichi Osawa & Hiroshi Fujiwara with Crystal Kay -- Lost Child (original, orchestra version, radio edit, inst)
SMEJ (Japan), 2001 Condition: New Copy
Sweet and lovely soul from the genius behind Mondo Grosso! Japanese producer Shinichi Osawa is working here with singer Crystal Kay -- one of the new breed of Japanese soul singers in the mode of Bird or Monday Michiru. Like Bird, Crystal mixes together Japaanese and English lyrics -- with a soulfulness that's universal, a fact that's driven home even further by the track's complicated jazzy R&B backings! The original mix blends together strings, keyboards, and beats -- and the
orchestra version is sparer, with a complicated sound that shows that Osawa's turning out to be one of Japan's top producers!
It's interesting. I.ve never heard of anything about this...should check into that...
>Good luck with michiru Akiyoshi, what's the cover looks like and album title?... I wish you the best of luck...I'll consult >with my Japanese source.
>It's MANGETSU, released by Virgin in 1991. I'm looking forward to it because she does a cover of one of my favorite >Todd Rundgren songs, "Pretending To Care". Here's a link: http://sendai.cool.ne.jp/okaz8/mangetsu.htm
Congratulation! You just got yourself a real keeper. Monday's full name is actually: Monday Michiru Akiyoshi. It's produced by John Ingham. It's her debut Album
