Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a triumphant return after a brief hiatus, this self-written collection signifies Takeuchi's transformation from a managed idol to a fully autonomous singer-songwriter. Produced entirely by her husband Tatsuro Yamashita, the record effortlessly blends slick, cosmopolitan funk with wistful balladry, epitomizing the luxurious sound of Japan's bubble era. It houses the internationally renowned track 'Plastic Love', which decades later became the viral face of the global city pop revival.
