Haruomi Hosono: Yours Sincerely review
(Ghostly International) Unpredictable and utterly beguiling, the septuagenarian beloved by Harry Styles brings a hint of mischief to his innocently charming songs Haruomi Hosono is one of the most influential figures in Japanese music.

His 23rd solo album is wilful, playful, unpredictable and utterly beguiling. Rooted i
