Miki Imai: fiesta & MOCHA

Here are two more from Miki Imai. fiesta is an interesting compilation of covers of popular western songs from the 70's (The Carpenters, Peaches & Herb, Roberta Flack, etc.) with two original songs (one instrumental) . The songs are sung in English with Miki's voice and the arrangements complimenting the original versions very well. Also included is MOCHA, her third full length LP and her last of the 80's. Both great albums thanks to an anonymous uploader! Enjoy!

Miki Imai: Bewith & retour

While these were on my to do list, I bumped them up thanks to inspiration from my friend corwyn's I FEEL THE ECHO. Unfortunately it's not PRIDE, but fear not these are great listens! Enjoy! By the way, if anyone has a copy of her 1987 album "Elfin", I'd really appreciate it! 野性の風 was my introductory track to her and unfortunately both times I've visited Japan, I never came across the album.
