The legendary techno diva's YEN label collection now available on vinyl!
A limited edition with a colored record (clear pink).
Tamao Koike, who started out as a model, attracted attention in 1982 when she appeared in the Kanebo Cosmetics commercial "Unfaithful Palette Cat," and was discovered by Haruomi Hosono. She then began her singing career on the YEN label, which Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi established within Alpha Records. In 1983, she made her official debut as a singer with the single "October in the Mirror," fully backed by YMO. The song is still popular today as a YMO pop classic, but after releasing a mini-album under the name Tamao Ijima in the 1990s, she retired from the spotlight and became a long-lost figure. In 2023, a compilation CD "TAMAO - Complete Yen Years," which contains all of the recordings released during her time on the Alpha/YEN label, was released with Tamao Koike's full cooperation, causing ecstasy among fans. This time, 11 selected songs from the album are finally released on analog LP!
