Step – Rising Tomorrow (Promo White Label)
Step – Rising Tomorrow (Promo White Label)
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. (Promo White Label!)The sleeve has some minor flaws, but the vinyl is in excellent condition and plays beautifully.
Released in 1982 on Kenwood, “Rising Tomorrow” is the sole album by male duo Step – a mellow AOR / city pop gem arranged throughout by Makoto Matsushita. Built around soft West Coast–influenced grooves, it blends clean rhythm guitars, warm keys and gentle horns with the duo’s harmony vocals, matching the seaside artwork perfectly. From the breezy opener “Sea Breeze Lady” and laid-back “Summer Time” to the mid-tempo AOR of “Serenade” and emotional highlight “Remember Me,” the album stays light on its feet but quietly bittersweet, making it a great listen for fans of early-80s Japanese AOR and soft city pop.

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.
