The refined beauty of Japanese city pop
A perfect fusion of AOR and techno pop, the fruition of Sato Hiroshi's sense.
The album's skillful blend of synthesizers and acoustic instruments demonstrates the cutting edge of Japanese music in the 1980s. The song arrangements are meticulous, and the production is meticulously thought out. This album embodied the aesthetic of city pop before the term even became established.
