*The track order on the CD is different from that on the LP, as the CD order would have resulted in an imbalance between the A and B sides.

The global city-pop revival that began in the mid-ten's and has been growing in popularity since the mid-ten's has been dredged up in recent years
as the ‘CD Age’ has developed and sharpened, and this fantastic masterpiece that has been secretly gaining reappraisal has been reissued on CD
and for the first time on analogue by Sad Disco!

In the 80s, she appeared regularly on ‘Okaasan to tosho’ (NHK) as an electone girl. Currently active as a freelance pianist, keyboard harmonica player
and model, and has recently appeared in music videos by Ketsumeishi, Ikuta Ri and others (!!!). She is also a member of the band ‘Jazz’.
The band's catchphrase is ‘Jazz and Magic in downtown entertainment’. As the pianist of the ‘Of Sands Jazz Orchestra’, a jazz orchestra with the catchphrase
‘Jazz and Magic’, he has played with Terumasa Hino, Takeshi Ito (T-SQUARE), Neko Saito and other great musicians, and has also performed with
Masakazu Sato of the Hong Kong Flowers in their coquettish pop/whisper unit aprron. She is also known for her work with Hong Kong Flowers' Masakazu Sato
in the coquettish pop/whisper unit apron pepe.

Her first solo album, Caribbean Dream (Light Fusion Fantasy), was released on CD only from Nippon Columbia in 1989, when she won a prize at the 1981
All-Japan Electone Festival and was working as an electone player for the Yamaha Music Promotion Society. He was joined at Columbia Studio 2 by
Hidefumi Toki, Kumiko Tomoi, Naoki Watanabe (Spectrum, AB's), Makoto Kimura (Orquesta del Sol), Eiji Narushima (You & The ExplosionBand),
Yasushi Ichihara (Mickey Yoshino Group, You & The Explosion Band) and many others. Recorded in 1989 under the production of Eriko Tsukayama,
with a truly magnificent line-up of guests including.

Includes many gems such as ‘Caribbean Dream’, a Balearic/light fusion with the scent of the sea, ‘Manhattan Blue’, a popular number with a lovely and
impressive catchy electone tune, which she also arranged, and ‘Click My Heart’, a Chinese & techno-pop tune. The album contains a number of gems.
The album blends the sunny cheerfulness of Latin music with urban sophistication, mellowness and pop-ness, and a slight funk~black contemporary taste,
while fully showcasing the diverse appeal of the electronic instrument known as the ‘Electone’, and is full of a unique sense of floating and love.
The jacket illustration by Jumu Akamine is also superb!
