Produced by Haruo Chikada, this album blends the rising pulse of late-80s house with Kyoko Koizumi’s idol-era vocals. There’s no attempt to dilute or smooth over the club energy — instead, we get raw acid squelch, hip-house patterns, and leftfield dub textures that wouldn’t be out of place on underground dance 12"s from the same era.

What was once a curiosity in the Japanese pop landscape now reads like a bold precursor to the future of crossover dance-pop. Visionary, playful, and far from throwaway. A hidden gem for fans of genre collisions and vintage house experiments.
