Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Haruomi Hosono, Koshi's transition from standard kayōkyoku idol to avant-garde synthpop artist reaches its zenith on this hypnotic release. The production seamlessly blends Hosono's mechanical, cutting-edge sequencing with Koshi's ethereal, operatic vocal stylings and French chanson influences. It stands out as a sophisticated highlight of the legendary Yen Records catalog.
