Shigeru Suzuki

Shigeru Suzuki is a legendary Japanese guitarist and composer who helped shape the smooth, yacht rock-inspired sound of 1970s city pop. A key member of the influential band Tin Pan Alley, he's renowned for his warm guitar tones and collaborations with Haruomi Hosono (Yellow Magic Orchestra) on iconic projects like the *Pacific* album (1978) - which gets fresh attention through its 2017 remaster in your list. His recent releases like *Sunset Hills Hotel* and *Sunset Light Cocktail* show he's still crafting breezy, cocktail-hour-ready instrumentals, while special editions of *COSMOS'51* and *TELESCOPE* revisit his cosmic jazz fusion side. Fun fact: You've heard his playful guitar work whether you know it or not - he composed the original *Lupin the Third* theme song!
