RELEASE DESCRIPTION

Hajime Tachibana has been active in the fields of not only music but also graphic art for over 40 years since his solo debut in 1982 after the breakup of Plastics, one of the "Big Three of Techno Pop." Following the release of his all-time best album "hajimeht" in January 2025, his masterpieces from his YEN days, "H" and "Hm," will be simultaneously reissued on CD and LP. Both have been remastered by Yoshinori Sunahara.

"Hm (H Minor)" was his second solo album, released in April 1983 on the YEN label. It was produced by Yukihiro Takahashi, who also produced his previous album "H". It is an extension of the previous album, but it takes the saxophone ensemble to the next level. B2 is a cover of Ryuichi Sakamoto's song, and B5 is a cover of Isao Tomita's song.
