Nakamura, Akiko
Hit Album (yellow)
Available on vinyl for the first time since 1984. Album is an early J Pop rarity that shows the true size, scope and diversity of 60s pop, containing a mix of covers and original songs (by Hiro Yokoi and Hirooki Ogawa). Collaborating with Japanese band "The Jaguars," their hit single "Nijiirono Mizuumi" (featured on this release) went to #3 on the Japanese Pop Charts. Another album highlight is her beautiful rendition of the counterculture classic "San Francisco."
