Yumi Matsutoya / No Side
Yumi Matsutoya / No Side
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing! Top Condition! Rugby-drama catharsis meets winter standards — “No Side,” “Blizzard,” and city lights in full stride.
On “No Side,” Yumi Matsutoya pairs rugby-themed drama with sleek, mid-’80s pop craft. Under Masataka Matsutoya’s meticulous arrangements, first-call players—Masaki Matsubara (g), Louis Johnson (bass), Tatsuo Hayashi (dr), and Kenji Takamizu (bass), with Yuji Toriyama (g) and a crack horn section—shape a glossy, urban sound. From the anthemic title track to the radio-ready “Downtown Boy” and the winter perennial “Blizzard,” it’s an effortless glide through cinematic 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.
