A pop album about a mature woman, depicting a delicate loneliness beneath her glamour.
A city pop piece composed by the artist himself. The urban arrangement and clear vocals combine to create a fresh impression on the music scene of the late 80s. The staged composition is impressive.
Beneath the glittering synth sounds lie themes of loneliness and self-reflection. Nakahara Meiko's compositional sense is characterized by a unique aesthetic in the flow of melodies and the layering of harmonies, beautifully supported by Hagita Mitsuo's arrangements. The vocals are firm yet soft, delicately portraying the inner world of a woman. The tight processing of the rhythm section and the expansive strings emphasize the urban mood, resulting in a sound that symbolizes the maturation of city pop. A highly accomplished work with a perfect balance of beautiful composition and emotional expression.
