SPIN THIS: Japanese wunderkind Toshi Kubota has a brilliant new jazz-funk album that fits the needs of both adult and mainstream R&B stations. It's called "Sunshine Moonlight" on Columbia, featuring the single 'Just The Two Of Us.' a hip remake of the Grover Washington/BillWithers tune, featuring former Soul II Soul diva Caron Wheeler. Born in Tokyo, Kubota has already recorded nine albums in Japan that have sold more than 1 million copies each. The American debut features contributions from Nile Rodgers, bassist Victor Bailey, singer Joi Cardwell, and D'Wayne Wiggins of Tony Toni Toni, as well as Kubota's soulful homeboyvocals.
