A monumental piece of Japanese AOR, laced with harmony.
A unique soundscape where city and nature intersect.
"1&2" is the 10th album, a memorable one, packed with the charms of Hi-Fi Set. The perfect balance between the Western-oriented sound and Japanese lyrics establishes a uniquely Japanese AOR style. The careful arrangements and beautiful harmonies stand out.
