Album Notes & Community Reviews

Japanese singer-songwriter and keyboardist Akiko Yano enlisted the help of Yellow Magic Orchestra members and British avant-garde musicians to craft this quirky, complex art pop record. The album brilliantly marries her unique, acrobatic vocal style with state-of-the-art synthesizer production and highly unconventional song structures.
