This was featured in the guidebook “Walearic Disc Guide." The album released in 1983 by the well-known Japanese singer Yumi Ota, who gained fame overnight with the major hit "Cotton Handkerchief" in the following year after her debut in 1974. The A-side of the album features compositions and lyrics by American singer-songwriters Margaret Dorn and Linda Lawley, respectively. On the B-side, contributors like Itsuro Shimoda, Masaki Omura, Kyozo Nishioka, and Fumi Itakura are involved in songwriting, with elite musicians including Hayashi Tateo, Tsuyoshi Ima, Masaki Matsubara, and Hideki Matsumori providing backing sounds. Departing from the previous folk/new music direction, this album boldly incorporates urban pops and new wave, presenting a breezy sound with a novel approach.
