This was introduced in the guidebook "OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION". This is a 12-inch single with three tracks released in 1985 under the name of Yasuaki Shimizu & The Saxophonettes, one of the projects by composer/saxophonist Yasuaki Shimizu. It was released from the label Switch 45R.P.M. they released some nice 12" singles of avant-garde artists such as Ayuso Takahashi, Kujira and Katra Turana. This is a masterpiece that should be listened to now, with a witty sense and a very radical experimental spirit behind the elegant contemporary music style. The worldview of A1, composed/arranged by Yasuaki Shimizu with lyrics by his close friend Akira Ikuta, is one of a kind. B1 and B2 are also sublimated into a music full of originality that far transcends the original song.
A1: Elles se rendent pas compte 彼女たちには判らない
B1: Stardust
B2: Humoresque
