This was featured in the first edition of the guidebook 'obscure sound'. 1979 saw the release of the second album by Japanese female singer Haruko Kuwana, who made her debut in 1978 with the single 'More Imagination' and has continued to work at her own pace ever since. Baker's Shop, who would go on to support Kuwana Haruko's sound from then on, provided the backing music. The album features many songs written by Kuwana herself, and the entire album is full of groove-filled favourites, from surf rock to boogie disco and soul/funk, following in the footsteps of the first album, but the mellow groove tune A5, arranged by Teruyuki Kokufu, is by far the best.
A5: 蒼い風
B2: On the Seashore
