this was lovely, bought secondhand off yahoo jp and it's completely silent which i wasn't expecting lmao.

This is one of my favorite Takanaka albums of all time, and it seems to be slept on compared to his original three masterpieces. The blue vinyl is really gorgeous.
However, I think the sound quality suffers a little bit from the colored vinyl. I can't quite place my finger on it, but the higher end seems to be either muffled or buzzy at times. Not bad enough to make it unenjoyable, but something to keep in mind.
I honestly can't believe these are going for as cheap as they are, especially compared to his more popular ones (looking at you, All of Me)
