Description
Music that is neither kayōkyoku, folk, nor new music. A stylish, sophisticated, urban sound unlike anything heard before—this is truly “TOKYO music” = “City Music”!
This exquisite urban tune features Yoshitaka Minami, who made his major debut as a standard-bearer of City Music, duetting with Laji, who can be described as the female counterpart to Minami. This can also be considered the origin of the currently acclaimed “Japanese City Pop.” The A and B sides of the single released in 1978 have been swapped, and the track has been re-released as an original 7-inch single with a newly designed cover!
