"Sky and Sea Samba" is the leading single from Tokyo-based City Pop singer Rie Aono's highly anticipated 4th album, "TOKYO step".

This track is a sparkling new Brazilian Pop anthem featuring the sophisticated guest vocals of acclaimed singer-songwriter Tetsuro Yafune. Beautifully produced, composed, and arranged by Toru Horasawa, the song blends the glamorous, brass-fueled energy of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band with a cozy, synth-kissed retro groove reminiscent of The RAH Band.

Sung in Japanese, this delightful male-female duet brings together explosive brass sections, elegant nylon-string guitar, and irresistible melodies, delivering a nostalgic yet fresh summer vibe. A must-listen for fans of modern City Pop, Shibuya-kei, and retro-groove diggers worldwide.
