This is the third album by PSY-S, a Japanese New Wave unit consisting of Masaya Matsuura and Chaka, released in 1987. Haruo Kubota of the Pearl Brothers, Tomotaka Imamichi of the Barbie Boys, Kenji Suzuki, Hoppy Kamiyama, and others participate in this album, but the entire album is basically synth pop based on Fairlight CMI and synthesizer soundtracks by Matsuura. Chaka, who originally worked as a jazz singer as well, sings with a clear and straight voice on PSY・S, which is quite pop, but the sound production also has a Balearic feel to it.
