This is the second album released in 1987 by Kanako Wada, a Japanese singer who debuted in 1985 after winning the grand prize in a contest sponsored by Toshiba EMI. Produced by Kazuhiko Kato, the album features music composed and arranged mainly by Kato and Yasuaki Shimizu, with Taeko Onuki, Yukihiro Takahashi, and Gontiti also contributing songs. In addition to Kato and Shimizu, musicians Yukihiro Takahashi, Kenji Takamizu, Morio Watanabe, Ryoichi Kuniyoshi, Motoya Hamaguchi, and others also participate in the project and give excellent performances. Produced by Kato, the romantic and elegant sound production, which sublimates Latin, French, and bossa, is extremely superb. The music by Yasuaki Shimizu is especially great. If you like adult oriented urban pop music, please give this a listen. Highly recommended. There is a signature on the front of the sleeve, which seems to be written by the artist herself.
