5 Nov 2020 — Tomoko Aran - Kanzen Hanzai Kanzen Hanzai is a nostalgic dive into that old-time line, that was onced called New Wave, the point is it was new in the 80's and while it was driven by keyboard lines that shimmer like lost songs — the kind you might call Hall & Oates piano . This path leads us to a standout track from Tomoko Aran's cult classic album 神経衰弱 (Shinkeisuijaku) , released on 25 July 1981 so just over 43 years ago in Japan. The album blends synth-pop, city pop, jazz, and Kayōkyoku in a beautifully fractured way — clean yet chaotic, sweet yet cynical. It captures that moment when Japan’s music scene was deep in experimentation and high on style. Backing band Mariah (yes, *that* Mariah) and producers Daikoh Nagato and Yasuaki Shimizu create a soundscape that feels cinematic, streetwise, and strangely timeless.
