“Mrs.

Moonlight” is a song included on Toshiki Kadomatsu’s 2010 album Citylights Dandy.

This “Mrs.

The version sung by V6 is also well known, but AGHARTA is the original.

It was the finale song of the Nagano Olympics closing ceremony.

AGHARTA even made a surprise appearance at the closing ceremony and performed live.

It’s a fun song that makes you want to start dancing any time you hear it.

It was released in 1990 as Toshiki Kadomatsu’s 15th single.

The song was used as a KOSE commercial image song, features extensive choral parts, and was later included on the instrumental album “LEGACY OF YOU” in a different arrangement from the single.

Included on the first disc of Toshio Kadomatsu’s instrumental album.

Each track on this album is titled with a different woman’s name.

If there’s a song with your own name, it might give you a big boost in concentration from that track! (lol) Released in 1987, but the guitar tone hasn’t faded a bit.

The Day Santa CriedKadamatsu Toshiki

Singer-songwriter Toshiki Kadomatsu, often called a “music craftsman” for his highly evocative, cinematic musicality, released his 19th single, “The Day Santa Cried,” a ballad featured in the commercial for “Torikkiri Konica” (Konica’s single-use camera).

The arrangement moves from an intro with a wistful guitar phrase into a bluesy melody, amplifying the poignancy one feels on a snowy day.

It’s a winter-themed track whose Christmas-tinged sound is pleasantly soothing.

FRIDAY TO SUNDAYKadamatsu Toshiki16rank/position

One of the quintessential figures of city pop, Toshiki Kadomatsu’s “FRIDAY TO SUNDAY” is another unforgettable track.

The urbane Japanese pop influenced by Western music—by artists like Eiichi Ohtaki, Tatsuro Yamashita, and Happy End, commonly labeled as city pop—grew into a major movement.

Some argue the boom was really about how listeners perceived the music, and many artists never explicitly identified themselves as city pop.

As for “FRIDAY TO SUNDAY,” its 40-second intro is compelling, and the arrangement, which evokes classic soul, is particularly noteworthy.

If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s worth making time to listen.

Always Be With YouKadamatsu Toshiki17rank/position

It’s the theme song of the film “The White Ship,” which is set on the Shimane Peninsula in Shimane Prefecture.

The grand melody pairs beautifully with the lyrics “I want to believe in you,” and it almost brings me to tears.

The film’s story was also deeply moving.
