You may just as well disregard the below "reviewers" (or youtube skippers) as I have some great news for you!
This is one of the best city pop albums ever released. Side A is awesome, but the entire thing rocks!
Check out the emotional ballad Futari No Night Dive - just beautiful. This is waiting to be discovered and its price to skyrocket, trust me.
Listen to it for yourself.

Took a chance on this largely based on the cover; enticed by idyllic sunny reminiscences of past lazy beach vacations, sipping on a cocktail....What I got was a one-way ticket to an ubiquitous shopping mall located in Tokyo, or maybe Sendai. Rather vapid served with a large side of cheese.
