Audio taken from the CD version, ripped by anonymous Image album to Michiharu Kusunoki's manga of the same name. Track 1 was later used as the theme song to the manga's 1987 live-action movie adaptation. I purchased the LP copy of this long long ago but had never gotten around to editing it—it wasn't dirty or anything nor do I think it's a bad album, I just simply did not have the interest to move it up the priority editing list. However I was recently given the opportunity to access to a CD rip which I was also later given permission to share online. Having a CD rip beats editing the LP any day, so I took advantage of that :^) I don't have much to say about this album but don't let that convince you into thinking that this sucks or anything. The tracks here are good! A lot of them bring this sort of 1950s "rock 'n' roll"-type of vibe that I think fits the manga perfectly—track 9, though not specifically rock 'n' roll, easily SCREAMS 1950s. A very relaxing track that IMO captures the vibes of a 1950s-styled diner just about right. Enjoy!
