The second volume of an unconventional album of arrangements of standard jazz numbers with own Japanese lyrics by pornographic actress Rie Kitahara. In this work, was arranged by composer/pianist Masahiro Sayama, who is known for his wide range of activities, including prism. Among the tunes, "Cleopatra's Dream" featuring Sayama's piano and Kitahara's swinging vocals, the bewitching funk number "Summer Time" and the funky dope "Mack The Knife" are particularly excellent. The second album is also highly recommended.

ポルノ女優北原理絵がスタンダード・ジャズ・ナンバーに自作詞をつけてアレンジを施した型破りなアルバムの第二弾。本作ではプリズム始め、幅広い活動で知られる作曲家/ピアニスト佐山雅弘がアレンジを担当。中でも佐山のピアノとバッキングの演奏、北原のヴォーカルがスゥイングする”カマキリ遊び”、妖艶なファンク・ナンバー”夢、果てて”、ファンキー・ドープな”裏切り返し”は秀逸。セカンドも非常にオススメの内容。
