Shimatani Hitomi - PASIO

Shimatani Hitomi knows exactly how to take different sounds and bring them together in breathtaking compositions and songs; PASIO is no exception. On the single are two songs that seems to be timeless. They are rousing and unmistakably influenced by Latin music.

PASIO combines hot rhythm with dynamic and fast vocals that are great, and you can hardly believe that a Japanese woman wrote it. While listening to it, it's easy to imagine you are standing somewhere in the mountains and looking down on a celebrating village in Peru; you feel like you're in the middle of a carnival festival.

True Blue is definitely a ballad, but even here the panpipes can be heard again, carrying over the nice atmosphere they created on the A-side. Furthermore, this song emits an unbelievable calm. With the instrumental versions, you can let yourself drift and relax.

Fans of Latin culture and those who want to be would do well not to pass by Shimatani Hitomi’s PASIO. In addition, this single is perfect for young and old because of its timeless character.
