The 1979 debut album by singer Mana, who also appeared on Tin Pan Alley’s second album, produced by Tatsuo Hayashi. Includes a cover of Tin Pan Alley’s “Yellow Magic Carnival” (composed by Haruomi Hosono), along with songs written by Kyohei Tsutsumi and Kuranosuke Hamaguchi. The real highlight is the lush, tropical, mellow-yet-funky arrangements by Hiroshi Imai of Sadistics, echoing the vibe of his 1977 masterpiece A Cool Evening. Steel pans and electric piano shine throughout an essential Japanese groove favorite. |
