Dear Friends 5 V

[Machine Translation] Celebrating her 35th anniversary, vocalist Hiromi Iwasaki continues to captivate audiences. Her rich expressiveness and beautiful voice have made her one of the most popular singers in Japan, and she will be releasing "Dear Friends V", the latest in her popular cover series. From the many requests we receive each time, we have finally decided to include them in this album! Akiko Kosaka, who is also the original artist of the song "Anata", which can be said to be the starting point of Hiromi Iwasaki, will participate as an arranger and pianist. The album includes "Niji - Singer", a masterpiece written by Masashi Sada for Izumi Yukimura's 40th anniversary, "Twilight's Biggin", a song with Hiromi Iwasaki singing in a jazzy mature mood played by a piano trio led by Chisato Oe, and a song featuring Junko Yagami, Senso Hanada (Matsuzen) and Hiromi Iwasaki, who is unique in her own right (but very talented). The unique (but very talented) trio of Junko Yagami, Chigusa Hanada (Matsuzen), and Hiromi Iwasaki performed "Midnight at the Door," which was made extremely soulful by the Bubblegum Brothers Band led by Bro. And the duet with Yoshimi Iwasaki, which has become a regular event, is "Koi no Fuga" by The Peanuts with the Arroyo Jazz Orchestra, a big band from Osaka! She also performed with the Arroyo Jazz Orchestra on another song, Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E". You will enjoy the charm of Hiromi Iwasaki's singing in every song! Total of 12 songs. All songs have her own liner notes.
