Haruomi Hosono has selected 11 tracks from a compilation CD of Tamao Koike’s recordings from her Alpha/YEN label era—long-awaited by YMO and kayō fans—and released them on vinyl! "Runnin' Away," which had never been officially released until it was included in the YEN box set, is a gem of a track. Though understated, it perfectly blends sound design, electronics, and Hosono’s subtle backing vocals with intricate arrangement details, Tamako Koike’s charm, and Hosono’s unique blend of refined yet unpretentious sensibility and playful spirit.
Track List

A cover of SLY & THE FAMILY STONE’s “Runnin’ Away,” “Romance Theme from Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” “October in the Mirror” (original and remixes), and Haruomi Hosono’s “A Dreamy Promise” featuring Tamao Koike—just a few of Juzu’s timeless classics. The journey of the artist behind “Next Time Will Be Better.” (Original Japanese text by Saito)
