Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Japanese pop icon delivers a conceptually dense, wildly theatrical exploration of human desire and the Buddhist concept of the 'three poisons'. The production is characteristically manic and flawlessly executed, abruptly shifting gears between grand orchestral arrangements, swinging jazz pop, and abrasive rock.
