Introduction
The third installment in the "Otokouta" series, featuring classic songs by stylish men.
"Bass magician" Ron Carter and Hikari Aoki, with her unique voice, bring you an album that transcends space and time.
In her previous album, "L'amour," Hikari Aoki surrendered herself to Ron Carter's bass and sang melodious love tunes.
This album, featuring Ron Carter once again, is the third installment in the "Otokouta" series, featuring classic songs by stylish men. It's a work that exudes nostalgia and allure.
Hikari Aoki and Ron Carter first met 20 years ago in New York. Since then, the two have released live DVDs, performed in concerts, and performed together twice at the inner hall of Kongobuji Temple, a World Heritage Site (closed to the public).
This ninth album, Aoki, who loves travel and art, produced everything from song selection to arrangements and every detail.
The album jacket, designed by photographer Yoshinobu Jumonji and art director Yukimasa Okumura, invites you into a world of ecstasy.
The album features numerous classics, including Shinichi Mori's "Minatomachi Blues," Akira Fuse's "Sotto Oyasumi," Yujiro Ishihara's "Brandy Glass," Kiyohiko Ozaki's "Mata Au Hi Made," Kiyoshi Maekawa's "Soshite Kobe," and Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender."
The sophisticated yet stimulating sound will resonate with you.
