This is a solo album released in 1981 by Eiichi Otaki, who, after the breakup of Happy End, produced excellent pop songs with Sugar Babe and Niagara series with Tatsuro Yamashita and others. The album features many top musicians such as Makoto Matsushita, Tatsuji Yokoyama, Larry Sunaga, Fumitaka Anzai, as well as Haruomi Hosono and Shigeru Suzuki, and Takashi Matsumoto wrote all the lyrics. The album was influenced by The Beach Boys and other West Coast pop music, but also established Japanese pop music with a unique Japanese sensibility. This is a late pressing with all accessories. There is a slight warp on vinyl, but it can be played without problems.
