Yosui Inoue’s 1979 For Life album “Sneaker Dancer” brings together a killer late-70s studio crew: Masayoshi Takanaka on guitar and many of the arrangements, chorus work from Minako Yoshida, and horns by Hidefumi Toki and Jake H. Conception. The title track and “Mellow Touch” deliver bright funk-pop energy, while “Jiken” leans into reggae-kayo grooves and “Feminist” slides toward light mellow jazz-funk with warm keys and tight, sample-friendly drums. It plays like a warm late-night snapshot of Inoue’s For Life era, balancing strong songwriting with grooves that DJs and city-pop collectors still reach for.

About the Condition
About the Condition
| Grade | Description |

+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).
We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
