Miki Matsubara's 3rd album (released April 21, 1981).
Miki Matsubara's 3rd album (released April 21, 1981). Includes "NEET na Gogo 3-ji" (3 PM Neat Afternoon), a huge hit as a Shiseido
campaign song, and "Souvenir," composed by Motoharu Sano. All arrangements were handled by Masaaki Omura, a prematurely
deceased genius musician who created the "sound of the era" and whose achievements continue to be praised by prominent artists even
25 years after his death.
The five tracks on side A feature Dr. Strut, a funk-fusion band from the Motown label. The five tracks on side B feature some of Japan's
top musicians, including drummer Ponta Murakami and guitarist Tsuyoshi Ima, allowing listeners to enjoy a superb city pop feel
throughout the album.
