A sophisticated masterpiece of city pop that depicts the urban landscape, showcasing her cool vocals and international flair.
Known for her hit "Fly to Istanbul," this album explores a more urban sound. It's an ambitious album that boldly incorporates elements of AOR and fusion, which were cutting edge at the time.
The album opens with a light, cutting guitar and a gorgeous brass section, transporting listeners to the nightscape of Tokyo in the early 1980s. Her vocals are cool yet emotional, delicately expressing the feelings of a woman living in the city. The title track, "Made in Tokyo," in particular, showcases her international sensibility. The album ranked highly on the Oricon weekly chart, demonstrating a new level of artistry for her. The album features a stylish, urbane composition, effectively interspersing mellow ballads with up-tempo, groovy numbers.
