Junko Sakurada/ Seishun Zenki(original 1976)

This album is crafted as a complete work, not just a collection of songs, incorporating narration and track sequencing to create a cohesive story.

The narration and story-driven elements are excellent, but the opening track, “Prologue,” features a groovy Philly soul–style arrangement reminiscent of Love Unlimited, sure to bring a knowing smile to fans of Western music.
