The album features a blend of upbeat funk and disco with melodic ballads, Brian Wilson-esque vocal harmonies, new wave-inspired electronics, and even gospel elements.
This is the first reissue of the first album 'Noriki' by the fusion group Noriki, which was formed in 1983 by keyboard player and arranger Kanekazu Nogi, who has played on the albums and tours of famous musicians such as Tatsuro Yamashita and Yasuko Agawa
Celebrating his 50th anniversary, the king of impossible to find city pop has pressed a limited edition copy of "The Boy Inside Me", a masterpiece album that closed out the 80s for Tatsuro Yamashita.
With a mix of noisy textures, post-punk energy, and avant-garde instrumentation, the record pushes boundaries while maintaining an undercurrent of melodic tension.
