Recommendations
Reviews
Everything on this album is masterfully done. Every fan of city pop and 80's Japanese music in general will be delighted by this gem.- Close to being my favorite Showa-era City Pop album along with Yamashita-san's "The Boy Inside Me" from 1988.
One of my favorite japanese soul/funk records, very underrated!! Gatefold with booklet and great artwork.
An all-round splendid album.
