A mysterious Japanese album released in 1980 by six-member chorus group called Partner, produced by Yasutaka Kitazawa, a music director who has worked on everything from jazz by Yosuke Yamashita and Masaru Imada to songs by Ichiro Araki and Kaori Momoi. The album is rich in variety, from city pop reminiscent of another chorus group Circus to moody songs and Savanna Band-style swing disco. The performances are very good by a lot of studio musicians likes Kenji Takamizu(b), Akira Okazawa(b), Akira Inoue(keys), Hiroyuki Namba(keys), Tsuyoshi Kon(g), Masaki Matsubara(g), Kiyoshi Sugimoto(g), Nobu Saito(per). The songs arranged by Akira Inoue are the best of the bunch.
