The dawn of a new era marked by the innovator of J-POP
The shock of Shake It Paradise, created by Toshinobu Kubota and his staff.
This groundbreaking debut album set a new standard for Japanese black music. The attempt to sing elements of funk, soul, and R&B in Japanese revolutionized the pop scene at the time. Producers Masumi Kawamura and Satoshi Takebe also contributed greatly, and the album stands out for its high level of musical perfection.
