Taeko Ohnuki - Mignonne
Taeko Ohnuki - Mignonne
Japan Original Pressing.
Soft Japanese city pop with deep groove, warm keys, and a subtle but unmistakable YMO-era touch.
Mignonne marks a clear shift in Taeko Ohnuki’s sound, moving from her earlier band-oriented style into a more refined city pop direction. With Ryuichi Sakamoto handling arrangements, the album carries a gentle but precise structure, blending warm keyboards, tight rhythm sections, and understated groove. Haruomi Hosono and Shigeru Suzuki’s presence adds depth, while Yukihiro Takahashi and Tatsuo Hayashi keep the rhythm light but controlled. Tracks like “Jajauma Musume” and “Yokogao” are often highlighted, but the strength of this record is how consistently it holds its mood across the entire side. For Record Monster, this is not just a well-known title. It is a key Japanese city pop LP where musicianship, arrangement, and atmosphere align at a very high level.

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.
