An album in 1978 by Hitomi Ueda, who is also known as a vocalist ofToshiyuki Miyama New Hard and is evaluated for her vocal to express Saudage. With Akira Miyazawa, Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Akira Ishikawa and other backing musicians as in the previous album, this album has many jazz/blues approach tunes, such as the Japanese bossa "Sorekiri", the jazz Kayo "Bye Bye Lullaby", and the jazz funk style "Hira-Hira". It's a work in which her singing ability is more alive. Also a great performance with less tension.

宮間利之ニューハードのヴォーカリストとしても知られ、サウダージを表現する歌唱力も評価される植田ひとみによる78年作。前作同様の宮沢昭,杉本喜代志,石川晶らのバックミュージシャンを背に、本作ではジャズ/ブルースアプローチな楽曲が多く、しっとり歌い上げる和ボッサ”それっきり”、ジャズ歌謡”バイ・バイ・ララバイ”、ジャズファンク調の”Hira-Hira”などより彼女の歌唱力が生きた作品となっています。テンションを抑えた演奏も素晴らしいです。
