Yoichi Takizawa's second album "BOY" which follows his first album ""Leonids no Kanatani"", is miraculously released after more than 40 years!

This work was scheduled to be released on July 25, 1982, following his first single "Sunday Park".

For unknown reasons, this is a phantom second album that was canceled just before its release.

*Also includes the original version of "Kagirinaki Natsu" from Hideki Saijo's 17th album "GENTLE・A MAN" released on March 5, 1984.

The mixdown was once complete, but the original master of the 2-mix is currently missing, so the mixdown was done again for this album

(except for SIDE B, 1st and 2nd tracks released as singles).

The mix work this time was done based on the remaining karaoke masters of all the songs, and the album was revived as a supreme album that

expresses a modern sound while staying as close to the original mix as possible.

The first album "Leonids no Kanatani" released by ALFA and traded at high prices long before the City Pop boom, has been reissued on vinyl.

This second album is also finally being released in its entirety on vinyl for the first time in the world!"
