Style: vocal jazz, city pop
Primary Emotions/Themes: Love, romance
Thoughts: There's something incredibly nostalgic about old sounding Japanese music. Maybe it's the fact that I grew up watching some early anime. Maybe it's an inherit quality to the music. Either way I'm not sure, but man it sure makes me long for something that I've never experienced.
I know nothing about this album. Don't know who released it, don't know who performs on it, nor do I know when it was released. None of that matters. This is one of the purest examples of owning an album simply for the music that I have in my collection.
The music is simple, almost to the point where it sounds innocent. There are a lot of instruments at play here: violins, guitars, various percussive instruments, flutes and so many more. Despite how many instruments there are the music never feels overwhelming. Everything is so neat and compact that it all falls together nearly perfectly.
The vocals vary between male and female and are almost all upbeat. On a rare occasion they will fall into a slightly softer tone... almost like the singer is home sick. The music matches suit. These songs seem to be about love, happy times, friends, really anything that sparks joy.
The Season of the Color of Love is a unique entry into my collection. I don't think I'll ever find anything like this again unless I happen across it randomly. Regardless the music is fantastic and remains a bright spot in my typically darker music collection.
