Teaming up with a group backed by top-tier musicians including Yoshikazu Matsuura, a virtuoso honed in the fusion supergroup PRISM, and two powerful African American vocalists the RA MU released several singles before unveiling their one and only album. Now, this hidden gem is being reissued with its original obi strip and in a special pink vinyl edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the many Japanese boogie records from the '80s currently enjoying a resurgence both domestically and internationally, this album stands out for its exceptional quality and rarity. It features tracks like the digital funk masterpiece “Shonen ha Tenshi wo Korosu” (A5), and the midnight urban boogie “Tokyo Yabanjin” (B2), arranged by Hiroshi Shinkawa. Boldly incorporating the then-popular black contemporary (Bla-Con) sound, the album refines it into a sleek, brand-new style of kayokyoku (Japanese pop ballads).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original pressing was released during the transitional period from vinyl to CD, making it a rare collector’s item. Now, the times have finally caught up with this long-overlooked masterpiece—enjoy the rediscovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRainy Night Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnaval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatsu to Aki no Good-Luck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Years After\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShonen ha Tenshi wo Korosu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne And Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTokyo Yabanjin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKataomoi Doumei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate Night Heartache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RA MU","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Pink","offer_id":44381138583743,"sku":"HRLP374-PK","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/4582725189575_974x_286ccbad-62a8-44b5-9259-b463385e829c.jpg?v=1752213664"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-ra-mu.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
