Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

A brilliant 1980 debut where Japanese synth-pop, AOR, fusion, reggae and oriental melodies collide. Hideki Matsutake’s electronics and an incredible studio lineup turn Yume Hiko into a dreamy, exotic and deeply addictive Japanese cult classic.

Yume Hiko already contains everything that would make Mioko Yamaguchi such a unique figure in Japanese electronic pop. “Tokyo Lover” glides through sophisticated urban synth-pop, “Itsuka Yurarete Tooi Kuni” brings a beautifully exotic groove, while “Omatsuri” pushes Japanese traditional color into a strange electronic world. With Akira Inoue, Hideki Matsutake, Tatsuo Hayashi, Tsuyoshi Kon, Hidefumi Yamaki, Pecker and more behind her, the playing is exceptional, but Yamaguchi’s melodies and mysterious world remain unmistakably her own. A deep Japanese synth-pop gem for anyone moving beyond the obvious YMO and city-pop classics.

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.
