An album released in 1978 by Kyoko Mano, one of the representative and beautiful actresses of the Showa era. The album features impressive groovy backing tracks reminiscent of Philly Soul, especially in A1. It includes an adult-oriented bossa nova arrangement of the theme song from the movie "Moeru Aki," based on a novel by Hiroyuki Itsuki, in which Mano starred, with music by Toru Takemitsu. Notably, B4 reprises a scene from the movie where Mano reads aloud a letter that appears in the film. The album also features Kyoko Mano's clear and gentle actress-like voice reading translated foreign poems set to music by Takashi Fukui, as well as poems by Shigeji Yagi, a poet who died in 1927 at the age of 29.
A1: Subway (サブウェイ)
