Manners: 暗号
Manners is a musical project by Japanese actress Mai Mishio. Last year they released a mini album, ‘Facies‘ with a couple of dreamy, sometimes jazzy songs. The one above is called ‘Ango‘ (暗号).
I wouldn’t call it easy listening though. Mishio’s singing is too detached for that and the band too whimsical, changing from a funky jazz-like atmosphere to something more like cabaret and even noise at times. You can proof-listen to it here.
Anyway, remember the name: Manners. If you want a copy, you’ll have to order it at a Japanese online seller, unfortunately. Globalisation has not reached the Internet yet.
