Masterpieces -Pure Gold Pops- Masao Urino Sakuhin Shu "Tengoku yori Yaban"

[Machine Translation] Masayo Sono, who made his record debut as a lyricist in 1981 with "Hoshikuzu no Dansha Hall" by Chanels, has dominated the music scene with his unique world view that mixes urban and sophisticated words with juvenile and delinquent characteristics. In 1984, he became the best-selling songwriter in the lyricist category just three years after his debut (and again in 1985). His works are not limited to city pops and idol pops, but also cover a wide range of genres such as rock, techno, anime songs, and theme songs for movies and plays, and many of his songs have been sung throughout the ages. Includes commentary by Masayu Sono. Liner notes and commentary by Kenro Hayami (urban critic), Koichi Taho (composer and music producer), Kaori Kano (songwriter/singer), Tetsuji Hayashi (composer)
