Pianist Noriki Soichi has re-released the first album by his own band, which he formed after working with Honda Toshiyuki and Yamashita Tatsuro, on clear sky blue vinyl.
While the album is dominated by a sophisticated fusion sound brimming with urban charm, two vocal tracks featuring Yurie Kokubu add an AOR-like flair to the album. Released in 1983.
