Released in 1979, this is an actor's unique attempt at musical expression.
This work occupies a unique position as a musical endeavor by Nezu Jinpachi. It combines Japanese pop sensibilities with Western-style arrangements, and is composed of a light-hearted work that includes introspection.
The guitar-driven arrangement intertwines with synth sounds, creating a late 1970s Japanese pop/AOR-esque mood. The vocals utilize the actor's expressiveness while also giving the melody sufficient persuasiveness, making the singing sound natural. The composition ranges from light, Latin-inspired numbers to relaxed ballads, creating a sense of cohesion between the songs. The recording was meticulous for the time, with impressive string sounds and saxophone embellishments. It's an interesting example of an actor working as a musician, and the music itself is highly accomplished. The jacket artwork is also impressive, leaving the overall impression of the interplay between the actor's public face and his private musical inner self.
