Influential to Haruomi Hosono, you say? Reading that made me dash for the link to download this _that_ much quicker, no kidding :D I should have been able to guess as much myself though, since Hosono did a cover of "Japanese Rhumba" on his album "Paraiso".. His three exotica albums albums are not only my favorite albums of his, but some of my favorite albums _period_, so it's wonderful to be exposed to more music that is similar in tone :) (and if you like music like this, you should _absolutely_ listen to Hosono's exotica albums sometime too. "Tropical Dandy" in particular ♥ I know you've listened to him as part of Swing Slow, but I wonder if you've ever listened to his solo works too...?)
