J-popRhythm and blues

Crystal Kay is a J-pop and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of m-flo, Yasutaka Nakata, SOULHEAD, Diana Ross and Bobby Brown. Those roots explain a lot about how Crystal Kay arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as BoA, SOULHEAD, Jasmine, Misia and Perfume, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and m-flo, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around Crystal Kay, reaching back through m-flo and forward to Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
