Kyosuke Himuro - Flowers for Algernon (1988)

A memorable first album released in September 1988 without a break from BOOWY's dissolution. Includes 11 powerful songs such as the first solo single "Angel", the famous song "Dear Algernon" which is also the album concept, the classic live song "Taste Of Money", and the famous ballad "Alison". Produced by Ken Yoshida. Of course, as you can see from the title, this work was made with the inspiration of the ice house in the famous book "Bouquet for Aljanon". If the musicality of Tomoyasu Hotei at that time is "Tsuyoshi", the musicality of Kyosuke Himuro is "soft". Compared to the Boowy era, it feels like there are no thorns in the center of the love song, but that is also the true charm of Himuro. A masterpiece where you can see the delicate world of lyrics, catchy and melodious sounds, and the rock spirit that Himuro has cultivated so far!
