Woman from 'W no Higeki (feat. Megumi Mashiro)

Gota Nishidera (NONA REEVES) has completed his "Human," a "humane" cover album that tackles the deep city pop (pop songs/new music) of the '80s and '90s! The third pre-release single from the album, out on Wednesday, February 18th, is Hiroko Yakushimaru's smash hit "Woman from 'W no Higeki'." This cover, a work by a collaboration that is renowned for its storied history of Japanese pop music, with lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Karuho Kureta (Yumi Matsutoya), is a honed acoustic cover, honed in a private room by producer Yudai Ohi on piano and featuring Megumi Mashiro of Hicksville. Ken Tomita's immersive mix brings together the mysterious floating and tension of the original, resulting in a masterpiece.
