Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

Late-80s Akina with a cool urban mood, smooth adult arrangements, and the darker glow of Japanese city pop.

Cruise is one of Akina Nakamori’s key late-80s albums, recorded in New York and shaped with a cooler, more mature urban sound. “LIAR” is the obvious highlight, but the album as a whole leans into smooth city-pop, adult contemporary, and late-night vocal drama. Rather than pure idol pop, this is Akina in a darker, more refined mode, with her voice carrying the tension and elegance of the record.

About the Condition

Grade Description
S (Sealed) Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played.
M (Mint) Perfect condition. Looks unplayed with no signs of use. Typically used for records that are brand new or opened but never played.
EX (Excellent) Very clean. May have light scuffs or hairline marks, but plays perfectly.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) Minor wear, light surface noise, no major flaws — a solid average used copy.
VG (Very Good) Visible wear and surface noise. Plays through without skipping.
G+ (Good Plus) Heavily used. Significant wear or scratches, but still playable.

+ / − 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.
