Rie Murakami's masterpiece *SAHARA*, originally released in 1984, is set for reissue on clear orange vinyl for "Record Day 2026"!

Rie Murakami's *SAHARA*—an album garnering significant renewed acclaim from overseas—will be reissued on clear orange vinyl for Record Day 2026.
In recent years, the album has been recognized not only for its City Pop qualities but also for its appeal within New Wave and Fusion circles. Produced by
Masanori Sasaji, the album features a lineup of Japan's finest virtuoso musicians, including members of the band Mariah (such as Takayuki Hijikata) as well
as Kosuke Mine and Jun Aoyama. Overflowing with the fresh, vibrant arrangements and melodies characteristic of the 1980s, the album continues to captivate
listeners today with its sophisticated sound and crystal-clear vocals—exemplified by the exotic, evocative title track, "SAHARA."
