Junichi Inagaki – Realistic (Original)

Features the emotive Ichidāsu no Iiwake and the atmospheric ballad Kaze ni Naritai Yoru.

Released in 1986, Realistic is the sixth studio album by Junichi Inagaki, one of Japan’s foremost adult contemporary voices. Known for his cool, steady tone and emotionally restrained delivery, Inagaki brings subtle drama to tracks like Ichidāsu no Iiwake, a City Pop favorite rich in regret and longing. The album closes with Kaze ni Naritai Yoru, a gentle ballad carried by soft melodies and quiet introspection. With its polished arrangements and understated emotion, this LP stands as a refined entry in the late-80s Japanese pop canon.

Realistic showcases Junichi Inagaki’s unique position in Japanese pop—where adult sophistication meets emotional subtlety. While Ichidāsu no Iiwake stands out for its lyrical poignancy and tight composition, Kaze ni Naritai Yoru offers a serene, reflective closing that lingers long after the music fades. It’s an essential listen for those drawn to the elegant, introspective side of City Pop.
