New Customer Review

This is the 1979 debut album from P-Model, the band that would influence most of the video game and anime soundtrack composers from the 80s on. When you listen to this album, you can immediately hear its footprint on what came after it. This isn't exactly a pop album; it is, but it isn't. It's anti-pop. What we have here is mad musical scientist Susumu Hirasawa making an album out of all the things he disliked about the burgeoning technopop and new wave genres, all the things that irritated him about how mindless and vapid it was and he and his bandmates mashed those bits together into a perfect new wave album. The album absolutely drips with loathing for the then new pop sound; some of the lyrics directly point at this palpable contempt, like "sophisticated foreign language song" at the end of a list of sophisticated absurdities, or the words "this song is pop" to point out the obvious. This album is a caustic parody that still sounds fresh almost half a century after it's release.

It's my first time buying here. the process was clean and everything arrive well protected. A very good experience.

i had never heard this album until i played this CD and i have to say i think its his best or second best album (out of that ive listened to thus far) and the packaging is excellent.

this was my first time seriously listening to this album. its beautiful from start to finish and the packaging is very pretty to look at.

so this was the first time i listened to this album and i have to say that i wasnt as into this album as some of the others. the packaging is GORGEOUS, just the music wasnt up to par for me.

the packaging is very pretty, though the album/music itself isnt his best work i think. Donovan has better albums but also some that arent as good as this one.

It’s amazing just amazing worth every penny it came in really quick and the quality is amazing they did a great job during shipping

quality is great shipping was great and the care for everything again is just fabulousssss brah I recommend

Jay’s debut album—he once said that all the songs on it were written for others but never accepted—served as his first opportunity to prove himself as a newcomer and marked the beginning of an era of memories for us.

I’m really happy that this DVD also includes three tracks from *Fantasy Plus*. This album marked the maturation of Jay’s personal style, earned the highest critical acclaim, and was his most groundbreaking work to date.

This is my favorite Jay album. It features a lot of upbeat tracks that aren’t as well-known but are really great, like “Grandpa’s Tea” and “The Little Blacksmith of Milan”—they’re all absolute classics.

After suffering a crushing defeat at the Golden Melody Awards, Jay released this album, which silenced all doubts and criticism. With its commercial success and stylistic diversity, it is arguably the most diverse of all his albums.

Jay was truly a one-of-a-kind legend 20 years ago. This is his best-selling album. It’s not just a collection of love songs—it’s filled with so much emotion.

Still remember listening to this album as a child. The crisp piano notes that followed the crackling static in the intro to the first track, “Nocturne,” gave me a tremendous sense of satisfaction. This song inspired me to take up the piano, and I’m grateful for it.

Jaw-dropping picture; no discernable difference between this & its Blu-ray counterpart (08" reissue). Equal to Renewals Macross Plus & Roujin Z for example (BCBA-3048 & ANSB-7220 respectively). Only critique is jacket's unadorned spine (Emotion the Best) & picture (front). Back is great, but new illustration is no where near as memorable as the one from '99. Would have been so freakin cool to see a reproduction like that of DYRL? (BCBA-3171).

Glad to get this limited edition shooter set from CDjapan. Exciting game. Hope to get more limited edition Nintendo Switch game in future.

There are also some nice character moments, especially showing how the bond between the teacher and students is slowly improving. It’s not a big jump in the story, but the small progress makes it feel more natural and wholesome.

I highly recommend buying this Artbook. It's thrilling to see Haruko Ichikawa's magnificent artworks in such large and detailed images. Seeing some of the manga's double-page spreads and even the textless covers is a unique experience. Furthermore, reading her comments on her work was very helpful in understanding more about Ichikawa's personality and thoughts when creating her art.
