After the previous album "Gentle sex", his songs became natural than before. At the same time, these songs still indicate his unknown capability. However, we realize there is something different his world after 7 years interval (before "Time tunnel").


He released a two-set CD album as his summary of works between 1981-1987. His music has changed and moved to one of southern islands,"Okinawa". It has kept its unique and traditional sound, which is different from those of other areas in Japan. Also,the words differ from that of standard Japanese, a song similar to "Vocaland" and so on.His creativeness of sound is alive and we can expect his new world again.----In the early 80s, he started his career at studio, while he was still in a Japnese university in Tokyo. However,later he plays various musical instruments, even synthesizer.(programming)His music has been always changing and he challenges everything that attracts him. His fans experienced that whenever he releases a new album, he shows another side.In 1998, he went back to "Budoukan", which the most Japanese artists want to play at.


At first,when I heard this sweet song, called "Hatsu-koi*"( the first love) on TV commercial, I fell in love with it as well as Kadomatsu. However, this song is released as only single, no album includes it. Only one album,"T's 12 inches" collection has its ablum/extended version, not original.
This album made him more popular.("T's Ballad") In those days, his sound brings us to beach in summer. With breeze,we enjoy summer days and love...Please take this album with you when driving to beach.
When he released "Gold Digger" album, some of his fans were surprised, because his music changed a lot. After the album, his songs became more adult taste. After "Before Daylight" album.
This is one of the most favorite albums among his works.("Before Daylight") As time goes by, his music and its taste change. He challenges something new. Whatever his music is called, it doesn't matter, because it is created by him.
Songs:I can give you my love, Lost my heart in the dark, Thinking of you, Get your feelin', Can't you see, Remember you, Lady in the night, I'd like to be your fantasy
This album "Reasons for Thousand Lovers" is also my favorite one, whose songs are sweet and romantic. Also he wrote songs from girl's viewpoint. So, his words are our girls' words. This album makes listeners to feel his kindness and maturity than before. That is,his way of thinking or point of view changed since that time. This one is for thousand lovers. Some lovers feel something from his songs.In this album, his songs became softer and kind, especially words or content are different from those of before due to changing his viewpoint.
In his best collection "Kadomatsu Toshiki [1981~1987],he gives us lots of unforgettable songs with his own messages. Songs, which never been included in any album, were released as 12 inches-versions or CD single. Some of songs in this best collection are rearranged and remixed by himself.For himself and his audience, all of them are treasure. In 1999, he released the first album for the last 7 years.
Songs:Ame-iro-no machi, Ratirahasha, Knock my door, Polar, Okinawa, Reason...*, End of the night, Moonlight Tokyo bay, New year's eve

Songs marked * are my favorites
What's "maxi-single**"? This is a kind of extended CD single, which usually includes instrumental -or "Karaoke"- version of its main song and several coupling songs. Thus, it includes from two to five songs in general.So, it is recognized one format between CD single and album, which has been popular since last couple of years in Japan.
