Despite a small, self-funded budget, Aiko Sekiguchi and Dale Senaga accomplished a delicate balance between her soaring voice and his inviting arrangements.  

“Fly With Me” glides effortlessly through West Coast AOR in a unique hybrid Japanese-Hawaii fashion, uplifting the listener with inspiring sound and lyrics. 

“Time Machine” is high-energy cosmic disco jam that lends itself to Japanese Enka, yet maintains its playability through simple yet strong songwriting. 

Sadly, Aiko died in a car accident in 2014. Whenever we listen, it’s as if Aiko has invited us to join her as she soars through the after-life, flying “higher and higher as a bird”, traversing a space “where anything is possible”.

With each spin her spirit returns, encouraging us to look beyond our boundaries and become greater versions of ourselves.
