A new version with OBI is releasing in Japan soon. This is by far one of the best city pop albums I have. I won't go as far as to say it's a hidden gem, cause many know how great it is. But it's usually not one of the first discovered I'd say. Definitely grab one at MSRP. :) Just fantastic album all way till the end and definitely one of my most played in the genre.

Got one 1986 Japanese copy for just 50$.
Sounds really amazing even it's almost 40 years ago. Momoko's voice makes me miss a place I've never been to, a time I've never lived.
10/10 for a city pop album.

With this album, Mr. Hayashi established himself as one of the best kayōkyoku composers. Also made Momoko Kikuchi's voice shine, despite being an extremely soft voice. Another voice couldn't have gone better with the album.

Did everyone else get a blue record? I know this was advertised as purple on the Ship to Shore PhoneCo and Light in the Attic websites, so just curious if all pre-orders ended up being blue.

Top tier cover, polished but highly derivative music. Compare Track 1 with George Martin's Pepperland to see what I mean.

Once the sun goes down and the light starts illuminating Tokyo, it is time to forget the summer heat and enjoy the night cruise with Momoko Kikuchi...
