Side B of Tropical Dandy is as good as I can imagine music getting.
Side A is too.
All hail the mustachioed one.
But there's also an awesome Honey Moon — a duet with Akiko Yano — on Hosono's (as yet...!) uncelebrated 1993 album, Medicine Compilation from the Quiet Lodge (not really a compilation).
:::
The setting sun is in my heart.
The honey moon is in the sky.
Angels come to earth at night.
Our dreams are their hair swaying.
A serenade like touching silk.
The honey moon is in the sky.
My chest's a trembling pegasus
and its mane, too, is swaying.
Shall I captivate you with this love song
as the full moon tiptoes closer?
We'll be heading back up there
but not so soon, don't worry.
Swaying...
