Japan Original Pressing. Promo

Ayumi Ishida on Alfa, backed by an elite Tokyo studio lineup. Sophisticated adult city pop, nocturnal kayō groove, and four rare songs with lyrics by Yumi Matsutoya under her Kureta Karuho name.

This self-titled Alfa album is far deeper than a standard kayōkyoku record. Akira Inoue and Nobuhiko Shinohara’s arrangements, together with a heavyweight session lineup, give the album a smoky late-night blend of sophisticated AOR, city pop and adult Japanese groove. “Nami ni Natte,” “Sunadokei,” “Kodoku na Tabibito” and “BLIZZARD” feature lyrics by Yumi Matsutoya as Kureta Karuho and exist only in Ayumi Ishida’s recordings, giving the LP real collector appeal beyond its already excellent sound.

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.
