REASONS FOR THOUSAND LOVERS

角松敏生 > 角松敏生の作品一覧 > REASONS FOR THOUSAND LOVERS 『REASONS FOR THOUSAND LOVERS』（リーズンズ・フォー・サウザンド・ラヴァーズ）は、1989年9月6日 (1989-09-06)に発売された角松敏生通算8作目のスタジオ・アルバム。 アルバム・タイトルは当初、『GOOD-BYE THOUSAND LOVERS…SEE YOU TONIGHT』（アルバム発売前に行われた、横浜アリーナ公演と同タイトル）だったが、「（ファンの人達を連想させる“Thousand Lovers”という表記は）ファンのみんなに対して、キツいタイトルかもしれない」との考えから、変更された。 先行シングルとしてリリースされた「OKINAWA」は本作収録に際し、オープニングSEがイントロに加えられたほか、歌詞が新たに最終行に一行追加されている。また、「飴色の街」と「Reason…」は後にベスト・アルバム『1988-1993』に収録されたほか、「飴色の街」は2005年 (2005)のアルバム『THE PAST & THEN』、「End of The Night」は2020年 (2020)発売のリメイク・アルバム『EARPLAY 〜REBIRTH 2〜』で、それぞれセルフカバーされた。 全作詞・作曲・編曲：角松敏生（特記除く） 飴色の街  – (5'31") RATIRAHASHA 〜Time For Kari  – (6'08") Knock My Door  – (5'39") Jeff Bova & Jimmy Bralower 編曲 CINDERELLA  – (6'10") Polar  – (4'11") Jeff Lorber 編曲 OKINAWA  – (7'02") 角松敏生 & Mic Murphy 作詞 / 角松敏生、David Frank & Mic Murphy 作曲・編曲 Reason…  – (4'24") 角松敏生、David Frank & Mic Murphy 編曲 End of The Night  – (5'08") 角松敏生 & Wayne Brathwaite 編曲 Moonlight Tokyo Bay  – (5'57") Jerry Hey ホーン編曲 New Year's Eve  – (5'40") レコーディング・メンバー Produced by Toshiki Kadomatsu Arranged by Toshiki Kadomatsu Vocal, Synthesizer, Drum Programming: Toshiki Kadomatsu Synthesizer, Computer Manipulator: Kanichiro Kubo Drums: Shuichi “Ponta” Murakami Bass: Tim Bogert Guitar, Guitar Solo: Jay Graydon Piano: Jeff Lorber Sax Solo: Kirk Whalum Background Vocals: Curtis King Jr., Brenda White-King, Tawatha Agee Engineered by Mizuo Miura at Somewhere Studio (Tokyo) Alan Meyerson at Lion Share (L.A.), Ignited Studio (L.A.)
