Japanese singer-songwriter Lily, who made her debut in 1972 and went on to leave behind a number of outstanding works spanning folk, rock, and city pop, released this sixth album in 1976. Following Love Letter and Auroila, the album was recorded in Los Angeles, with arrangements jointly handled by saxophonist Takasuke Kida and keyboardist Marcus Duke. The backing musicians were also provided by the LA-based team known as Nothing Serius. The slow grooves of A1, A5, and B5, featuring emotionally charged string ensembles, are especially superb, while the entire album is colored by a breezy, West Coast-inflected groovy rock sound. A Japanese rare groove classic of the highest order.
A1: 気にしないで
A5: 帰ってこなかった人
