ARU TAKAMURA / ARU FIRST (LP)

"ARU FIRST", which boasts top class popularity in the 80's Japanese mono scene that is rapidly being archived, is being reissued in analog form! The album's soulful vocals and danceable arrangement confirm the popularity of Japanese DJs. Starting with the classic "LAST STEP" composed by Tatsuro Yamashita, the Japanese "GOT TO BE REAL" opening song "Koi wa Saikou", The songs on this album, such as ``LET'S YOUR LOVE GROW,'' a funky session with exciting rhythms by Jun Aoyama and Yasuo Tomikura, advocate black music, but they are all songs that show a glimpse of Japanese originality here and there. The included obi still follows the narrow specifications from 1985, and is a reprint that even those who own the original edition can enjoy.
