Description:

A rare city pop masterpiece that can be listened to throughout the album. Along with Taeko Onuki's "Sun Shower," this album symbolizes the current reevaluation of city pop, and is the only work by Takako Mamiya, a singer who was hardly talked about even in 1982 and disappeared with this single album. In addition to (1), which triggered her reevaluation, the mellow mid-tempo songs (2), (3), (4), and (5) on the analog A-side, the up-tempo songs (6), (7), and (8) on the B-side, and the mid-tempo songs (9) and (10) at the end, all songs on this album are without any discards, which is a terrible thing. The album features not only the wonderful city groove of Hiroyuki Namba, Kan Inoue, Yoshihiro Naruse, and others, but also Takako Mamiya's flat vocals that do not reek of songs or new music, giving this album a special universality.
