Style is the 1988 debut album from Japanese singer-songwriter Keiko Kimura, pairing her fresh, expressive vocals with an urbane city-pop sound shaped by accomplished studio musicians. Produced by Shigeru Suzuki and featuring lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and others, the album blends polished late-1980s pop, jazz-inflected arrangements, and touches of bossa nova.
Highlights include the cool, metropolitan groove of “Denwa Shinaide,” the breezy bossa nova influence of “Izumi ni Sasotte,” and the enduring favorite “Do You Remember Me.” This 2026 Japanese reissue brings Kimura’s increasingly celebrated debut back to vinyl on a vivid Clear Deep Blue pressing.
