Shuichi "Ponta" Murakami, since his professional debut in 1972, he has participated in various productions and sessions regardless of genre, and with his exceptional physicality and sense of performance, he was undoubtedly one of the top drummers in Japan for a long time, but sadly passed away recently. This is a three-song 12" single released in 1982 on the Shan-Shan/Better Days label. This is dance music performed live by some of Japan's best session players, and with guitarist Kenji Omura sound producing, the track is a danceable fusion of synth pop and fusion that only the YMO crew can create. B1 was also included in the "More Better Days" compilation CD that was produced by Chee Shimizu.
