Yukako Hayase – So Utsu
Yukako Hayase – So Utsu
Japan Original Pressing.
Decadent Japanese art-pop with faux-European elegance and new wave tension.
Yukako Hayase’s So Utsu is one of those records that has moved well beyond cult status into clear overseas reappraisal. Produced by Yasushi Akimoto and shaped by Akira Nishihira’s arrangements, it blends decadent art-pop, tense new wave atmospheres, and a stylized faux-European mood that still feels distinctive today. A key title for listeners drawn to elegant, theatrical, slightly nocturnal Japanese pop from the mid-1980s.

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.
