Wednesday LoungeKubota Toshinobu33rank/position

Toshinobu Kubota, whose funky personality is recognized by everyone including himself, has worked on a wide range of music—soul, R&B, and J-pop—and in his early twenties he wrote songs for idols everyone knows (Toshihiko Tahara, Miho Nakayama, Kyoko Koizumi, etc.).
He made his official debut in 1986, and later, in 1993, he moved his base to Manhattan in the United States.
Wednesday Lounge was created because Wednesday was the most relaxing, restful day at that time (since Saturdays and Sundays were crowded).
The shop’s name is fictional, but the light, easygoing vibe feels very American—and very Kubota.

Listening to it makes you feel a bit like the protagonist of a drama.
If you play it around Christmas, it might bring back memories of time spent with a lover.
Be sure to sing it with all your emotions.
