A polished slice of late-’80s Japanese city pop, Realtime To Paradise is Kiyotaka Sugiyama's second solo album, released in 1987 after his Omega Tribe years. Its coastal atmosphere meets sleek synths and refined arrangements, with contributions from Jun Sato, Masanori Sasaji, Ken Sato, Makoto Matsushita and Hiroyuki Iso. The title track sets a breezy tone, while “MYSTIC LADY” and “MOVING MY HEART” bring smooth urban grooves to this sunlit city-pop LP.
