Taeko Tomioka, a contemporary poet/novelist and Ryuichi Sakamoto, a graduate student at the University of the Arts at the time, teamed up to produce this unique album in 1976, which was created to be an anti-"Kayokyoku" album. The album contains a number of experimental tunes involving like a Akihiro Miwa's singing voice, Sakamoto's piano, synth, percussion and backing by Daiji Okai, Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Masahiro Takekawa, more. It creates an indescribable psychedelic sound space include opening title track with its heavy drums and electronic sounds, followed by avant-garde tune "Utaimashohitoride" in which Tomioka's poem and song stand out, psychedelic pop-type that seems to be aimed at on purpose "That day was a bright sunny day". Will never forget the impact of listening it for the first time. Masterpiece. Missing obi but it's a rare promo white pressing.

現代詩人/小説家の富岡多恵子と当時芸大院生だった坂本龍一がタッグを組み76年に制作された反「歌謡曲」を目指して作られたという異色盤。美輪明宏ばりの歌声に坂本のピアノ、シンセ、打楽器に岡井大二、杉本喜代志、武川雅寛らのバッキングが絡む実験の数々を収録。ずっしりと刻まれるドラム、電子音が織り成すタイトル曲に始まり、富岡の詩と歌が際立ちラストのパーカッションパートでやられるアヴァンギャルドな”歌いましょうひとりで”、わざと狙ったようなサイケポップ調”その日は明るい晴れた日だった”などなどなんとも言いいがたいサイケデリックな空間が創り出されています。超傑作。帯なしですが貴重なプロモホワイト盤。
