Kumiko Yamashita / Ame No Hi Wa Ie Ni Ite
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. First Press! Includes postcard (first press only)
Rain-room city pop—Tatsuro-penned “Shampoo” glows amid Ginji Ito & Hisao Ishida’s sleek arrangements.
On “Ame no Hi wa Ie ni Ite,” Kumiko Yamashita leans into rain-lit urban pop: airy melodies, soft synth textures, and a breezy melancholy. The set’s shape comes from dual arrangers Ginji Ito and Hisao Ishida, while the centerpiece “Shampoo”—written by Tatsuro Yamashita—adds a bittersweet, radio-ready lift. From the reflective title track to buoyant cuts like “Romantic ga Suki,” it plays like a slow walk under an umbrella that turns into a sing-along.

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.
