For You

Tatsuro Yamashita has become one of my favorite City Pop artists and a flavor of my summer experience. Given his stance on streaming, I had to go out of my way to get some physicals of his amazing music. CD was in great quality.

Just get it you won’t regret

Beautiful album.

It's a classic CD! Amazing tracks. However, being in America, I encountered some issues attempting to play the CD on a regular CD player, but it will play in game consoles and on computers just fine. My guess is it may have something to do with the region. Don't let that stop you from getting this rare album though, it will play!

For You is in my opinion one of the greatest albums I have ever listened to. From start to finish, every track is extremely solid. If I had to be asked, this album is arguably Tatsuro's best work. Every single track from start to finish is top class. Unlike Ride on Time, the first half of the album doesn't greatly overshadow the second. However this isn't saying the 2nd half is bad, its just not quite as strong as the first tracks. For You is a more complete Album, but both brought this Artist to the limelight for a reason.

I cannot help reminiscing my youth in the 80's Japan when I listen to some of the music by Tatsuro Yamashita. 'Morning Glory', 'Music Book', and 'Futari' included in this CD are some of the best songs. Yamashita has topped the chart of so-called Japanese City Pop music since the 80's and I believe amongst many X-gen people he still remains one of the most popular Japanese artists. He has been known to have been influenced by the Beach Boys and the likes of them, hence I recognise he uses his own unique voice layering arrangement in many of his songs. I have always regarded him as Japanese version of talented Brian Wilson. Aside of producing his albums, he is also a composer/producer/arranger of many of his wife's ( Mariya Takeuchi) albums and songs. ' Morning Glory' included in this CD is worth mentioning - Mariya Takeuchi does her version of 'Morning Glory' in her earlier album ' Miss M' ( 1980).

一曲目のギターのカッティングから 重厚な、深みのある音に支配される。 リマスターされている効果もあるのだろうが 音がロックしている。 曲も魅力的なのだが 達郎得意のコーラスが 曲を重厚にしている。 特に“FUTARI”の間奏での コーラスは圧巻。 アレンジは、70年代に流行ったであろう クロスオーバーやフュージョンの影響が アルバム全編に渡って聞かれるのだが、 不思議と古臭く感じない。 単に洋楽ジャズの模倣で終わっていたなら きっと飽きてしまうだろうに、 達郎は、自分のポップスの伴奏にできるまで 本場のジャズを消化し、 完全に自分の音楽にしてしまっている。 だから山下達郎のポップスとして 飽きることなく聴き続けることができる。 私は長らくベスト盤くらいでしか 山下達郎を聴いていなかったのだが、 このアルバムを聴くなら絶対7月に と決めて買い、ヘビロテで聴いている。 長く達郎ファンの方にいうのは 恥ずかしい気もするが、 このアルバムを聴くなら これから夏本番を迎える7月に聴いてほしい。 晩夏に聴く音楽ではないと思う。 買って大満足のアルバムだ。

Como bien dice el título "For You" (Para Ti) y para cualquiera que le guste la buena música.

On se croirait chez Toto ou Christopher Cross, sauf que les textes sont en japonais. Une pépite des années 80 du côté du soleil levant.
