Mitsugu Nakano – In The Blue
Mitsugu Nakano – In The Blue
Japan Original Pressing.
A seriously under-the-radar 1985 Japanese mellow gem. Warm synths, breezy guitars, soft urban grooves, and the beautiful “Hidamari no Koen.”
In The Blue is exactly the kind of obscure Japanese LP that makes digging worthwhile. “Hidamari no Koen” is the standout, with its warm, breezy and beautifully understated groove, while the album moves naturally between mellow AOR, soft city-pop textures, and 80s Japanese singer-songwriter sounds. Still largely unknown outside deep collector circles, this is a genuine hidden gem for listeners who have already gone beyond the obvious 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.
