Japan Original Pressing. Top Condition!!

Creamy mid-80s city pop/AOR from idol-era Momoko Kikuchi – sparkling synths, soft-focus grooves and bittersweet hooks made for late-night listening.

Released in 1986 on VAP and a No.1 album at the time, Adventure is one of Momoko Kikuchi’s key city pop-era records – a smooth, band-backed production that nudges her idol pop into more adult AOR territory. Bright, midtempo cuts glide on clean drums, warm bass and glossy synths, while the ballads keep her soft, airy vocals right up front. The arrangements leave plenty of space: guitar arpeggios, simple keyboard vamps and open chord sections that DJs can slide into mellow city pop sets, and beatmakers can easily flip into sample-friendly loops without losing that unmistakable 80s Japanese pop shine.

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.
