Structural Notes:Weekend Fly to the Sun is Toshiki Kadomatsu’s second studio album, recorded in Los Angeles with top session players and arrangements by Tom Tom 84. It blends city pop, AOR, funk, and soulful urban pop across tracks like “Office Lady,” “Rush Hour,” “Brunch,” “Space Scraper,” “Friday to Sunday,” “Crescent Aventure,” “I’ll Never Let You Go,” and “4 A.M.” The album conveys a sunny, weekend‑getaway mood framed by polished production and rhythmic grooves typical of early ’80s Japanese pop fused with West Coast influences. While not as commercially successful as later works, its mix of danceable rhythms, melodic hooks, and high‑level musicianship makes it a key early entry in Kadomatsu’s evolving city‑pop style.
