A rare secret live recording of “エキゾティカ” – the evergreen track from Crimson – has surfaced during X’mas this year.
Isn’t it just beautiful? We have no exact details which show this is from but it should be from a year-end X’mas dinner show. To whoever made this recording, a HUGE THANK YOU! And even bigger thanks for sharing this gem.

I know that this is your fave track from Crimson and it’s not difficult to see why. What I love is the amount of genteel emotion that Akina poured into singing this, bringing the special warmth of seeing snowflakes fall from the sky right into the listener’s heart.
Thanks for remembering, James! Yes, she sounds so personal and cosy in this recording. This is like well aged vintage wine.
