Perfect album for showing the breadth of the Japanese scene and how it fit into the greater music world in 1977 -funky, wonky synthesizers and playful approaches to vocals and music keep this album fresh as today's catch. Feels like Akiko was fed up with whatever J-pop was in the '70s, and played with tradition while also rebelling against it. For lovers of Japanese city pop,sideways funk, and even more traditional Enka (Japan's equivalent to country/folk).
