Description:

Third album after transferring to CBS Sony. (Released in 1986) Recorded and mixed by Tamotsu Yoshida. Arrangers on this album include Hiroshi Shinkawa, who made his name with works by Yumi Matsutoya, former Parachute member Satoshi Terao, Kaname Inoue, who worked on works by Eiichi Otaki and a wide range of idol songs, and veteran arranger Ryoichi Kuniyoshi. Their style is a perfect match for the music of such well-known writers as Ginji Ito, Mari Sugi, Akiko Kobayashi, and Seishiro Kusunose. Among them, "Starship" (6) by Mari Sugi, "Only One Photograph" (12) by Akiko Kobayashi, and "Elevator Town" (5) by Seishiro Kusunose are their best-known songs. Latest remastering by Tamotsu Yoshida in 2014. ＜After Akai Tori disbanded, Junko Yamamoto, Toshihiko Yamamoto, and some of the other members formed this chorus group. Junko Yamamoto's clear voice and urban, sophisticated chorus work made them very popular, and they are also known for their many hit songs composed by Yumi Matsutoya.＜Tamotsu Yoshida, a leading recording and mixing engineer who has created the sound of the times in the Japanese music scene and has worked on many historic albums by Eiichi Otaki, Tatsuro Yamashita, and others, has started a fascinating series of new remasterings to bring back to life masterpieces of the past. The series has begun.
