DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
RA MU’s Sole 1988 Album Gains Renewed Acclaim.
In the mid-1980s, during the golden age of Japanese idols, Momoko Kikuchi made a dramatic shift in her musical direction. 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.
Among 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).
The 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.

For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)

I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
