Flea Market Find - Japanese Pop Vinyl Record - Nozomi Inoue - Private Time

in #japanese7 years ago

This was the second album I got at the Flea Market in Nagoya. Again there was no record of this artist on Discogs so I'm assuming she wasn't very popular back in the days and that her records might be somewhat rare.

Any experts in Japanese pop music from the 80s that can confirm so?

The record was in great condition but unfortunately the obi was missing. The music is pretty standard female idol pop from that time, it was released in 1979. Overall the record sounds quite funky and cool and I play it quite a lot when I come home from work.

The track list is as follows:
A1. 青春メランコリー
A2. 熱いまなざし
A3. 涙よ、もういいじゃない
A4. ブルー・ウインド
A5. 好きだから
B1. ルフラン
B2. センチメンタル・コメディー
B3. 八月の風
B4. ひとりぼっちの電話
B5. さよならへの招待

I just noticed there are a couple of glitches right at the start of the first track, sorry about that. I didn't do much post-processing on these albums since they play really great. Just used the "Reduce Noise" feature built into Audacity after ripping them. I connected the amplifier directly to the laptop through the microphone jacked and ripped it.

Here's a photo of me rummaging through the records at the flea market and you can see a bit of the ojii-san that was selling them on the left side:

I'll post the the third vinyl record soon. In the meanwhile enjoy the amazing Nozomi Inoue and have a great day.
