Reviews
Someone on Reddit mentioned that their copy came with a sticker that simply had the artwork, catalog numbers of different formats, and a “on sale” street date - can anyone confirm if their copy included a promo sticker?- メリー・ゴー・ラウンド is the one of the best of TY's songs.
Vinyl sounds really good. Loud and soft. 
One of the most afforable Yamashita LP. It is pretty much the middle road of his solo carreer at this point. He really perfected his City Pop style and sound. Yes the cover is ugly, but the music is good!
Edited 5 years agoI stumbled upon a copy that's in a standard jacket and not a gatefold one. It is legit, as far as I can tell, just with a slightly different runout. Anybody happen to have any info (i.e., maybe it *is* some sort of pirated copy or something to that effect)?
