We have just got an album "Noriyuki Makihara Songs From L.A" featuring 11 covers by acclaimed Westcoast/AOR singers. As you can easily guess, those songs are all originally performed by top Japanese male pop artist named Noriyuki Makihara. Robbie Dupree, Bobby Caldwell, Tommy Funderburk (Airplay), Bobby Kimball(Toto), Joseph Williams(Toto), Jason Scheff(Chicago), Bill Champlin(Chicago) and other 4 first-class vocalists made a good job. And we should also note supporting musicians such as Tom Keane, Michael Landau. Honestly speaking, Makihara's melodies are a little bit diffrent from Westcoast/AOR ones, even though those songs are very light and mellow. All of the tracks are really well-arranged for the singers, and all the singers do show their professionalities, so I believe that you can enjoy this albums satisfactory, only if you admit that this is a kind of tribute album.
