The poetry of Japanese pop music, fluctuating between tenderness and sadness.
This album represents the culmination of Off Course's aesthetics at their peak. It's a crystallization of clear melodies and lyrics overflowing with humanity.
1978's "Fairway" heralded a new chapter for Off Course, which had become a five-piece band. Oda's clear melodies and Suzuki's structured compositions delicately intertwine, quietly depicting loneliness and separation in songs such as "All About You," "Dreams," and "Lonely in My Heart." Horns and strings are subtly added, and an introspective beauty flows throughout the album. It's not flashy, but it's a masterpiece that leaves a deep, lingering impression on the mind.
