Reviews

What a cracker of an album! It’s so impressive that Tatsuro Yamashita is still producing such wonderful music. Sound quality is also fabulous, I can’t fault it. What a treat to listen to
-
After all of these years, it is truly impressive that Tatsuro Yamashita not only is still performing and composing new music, but that he is still at the top of his game. As a package, this is his most consistently great album, and when I first heard it, it shook me to the core as a long-time Tatsuro Yamashita fan.
RECIPE, Lehua, My Love and SHINING FROM THE INSIDE are all-time classics from him. It's sweet, it's powerful, it's excellent.
If you love Tatsuro Yamashita, you owe it to yourself to get this.
Nearly fifty years on, he's still refining and improving his style. Truly, it's the return of the king. -
Sound: great sound quality and volume, no background noise or popping/ clicking at all
-
I wound up really enjoying this album, as I thought to myself - how can the undisputed king of city pop look ahead on today’s sound and celebrate his past?
Tracks like A3 I already hearing from the 2018 anime film Miari (which is a really awesome movie to watch if you’re a fan of the genre), but hearing it remixed for this release was pretty awesome.
Love the sleeve and insert, had a bit of a textual feel to it. Discs were perfectly flat and sound great. -
Lovely album from the King of Japanese City Pop! The album starts off with groovy, summery, modern city pop songs and smoothly transitions to mellow ballads and rock songs. Nice quiet pressing too. A must-have for every Tatsuro Yamashita fan!
