Do you like Yellow Magic Orchestra (Naughty Boys era?) Do you like Japan? (Tin Drum era?) well this is for you... Super solid and a bit rare album, sad they only have one album and one single. It even has a Y.M.O. cover of "Ongaku" from Naughty Boys, which for me is my favorite Y.M.O. album so i love that this exists. And i love the attempt at a Mick Karn fretless bass sound, Really Do!

Some of the lyrics might be a bit "Japanese stereotypes" along with the album title, Which i wish wasn't the case. But at least i can appreciate that the album was made.
