Description:

Sixth album in total, the first to be transferred to Alpha. (1978) Produced by Gene & Billy Page, featuring David T. Walker (g), Edward Greene (ds), Wah Wah Watson (g), Greg Phillinganes (key) and other top LA musicians. The extremely sophisticated sound is also miraculous, and the influence of this album on the Japanese music scene is also tremendous. This is a popular work that concentrates on Minako Yoshida's best-known songs such as "Love is as I Think It" (1) and "Umi the Sea" (4), and has a very high potential as an all-around work of art. Most of the lyrics were co-written by Minako Yoshida or Tatsuro Yamashita, and the album also includes "Kumo no Yukue ni CLOUDS" (8) and "Toki yo TIME" (2), popular covers by Tatsuro Yamashita (and self). Also included is a song (9) co-written by Yoshida and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Cover photo by Norman Schiff. Latest remastering in 2015 by Tamotsu Yoshida.
