Yuko Tomita - Shampoo
Yuko Tomita - Shampoo
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing.
Early-80s Japanese synth-pop and city pop with milky vocals, urban boogie grooves and soft-focus disco, including the cult favorite “Shampoo.”
Released in 1983 on Panam as a white-vinyl LP, Shampoo brings together synth-pop, new wave and soft city pop with Yuko Tomita’s gentle, almost whispery vocals on top. A-side highlights like “Dance Dance Dance” and the title track “Shampoo” lean into urban middle boogie and 80s disco textures, while B-side cuts such as “Glass no Tsubasa” and “Byakuya” drift into more balearic, light-mellow territory. Clean drum programming, simple synth bass vamps and open chord sections make this a very sample-friendly record for beatmakers, and for DJs it slips naturally into modern city pop, Japanese boogie or leftfield disco sets without losing its soft, emotional J-POP core.

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.
