Originally released in 1981, First Light is widely considered Matsushitaโ€™s masterpiece, blending smooth city pop grooves, sophisticated fusion guitar lines and the polished production style that would later make him a central figure of kayลkyoku and Japanese pop. Known also as a member of the funk-fusion group ABโ€™s alongside Fujimaru Yoshino, Matsushita showcased here both his virtuosity as a guitarist and his refined sense of songwriting.


This new edition preserves the original tracklist and includes a brand-new remaster for vinyl, presented with a deluxe three-panel fold-out booklet. First Light remains a shining gem of the city pop era, capturing the golden moment when Japanese fusion, soul and pop converged with effortless style.
