Tomoko Aran – Fuyü-Kükan
Tomoko Aran – Fuyü-Kükan
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing.
The midnight bible of city pop.
1983 Japanese original with obi — includes “Midnight Pretenders.” Beautiful copy overall; sleeve shows only faint age specks typical of the era (not noticeable on shelf, as shown in the photos).
Tomoko Aran’s Fuyu-Kukan is a late-night city-pop statement: gently pulsing drum machines, glassy synths, and breathy melodies that unfold like neon after rain. It’s the record that gifted the world “Midnight Pretenders”—now a global touchpoint thanks to modern rediscovery—yet the album plays front-to-back with consistent mood and DJ-friendly structures (clean intros, steady mid-tempo grids). For selectors, it slots anywhere from warm-up to after-hours without breaking the spell.

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.
