Haruomi Hosono - The Aegean Sea LP

Hosono was on a roll in the late '70s, releasing a remarkable amount of eclectic music, no two albums sounding the same. On this one from 1978 he teams up with some old pals (Masataka played with him in Caramel Mama[!]) playing a breezy, tropical brand of yacht-rock, encompassing smooth grooves, disco and more in that unmistakable Japanese style. Slick!
