Taeko Onuki’s 4th album, ā€œRomantiqueā€, became the first installment of her successful ā€œEuropean Trilogyā€ of albums which are inspired by and paid homage to French cinema soundtracks. The sound arrangement was changed from her previous studio band sound to a synth-driven new wave sound. This album established her distinct whispery vocal style which was inspired by the French pops of Bridgette Fontaine and FranƧoise Hardy.

Song arrangements are by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Kazuhiko Kato, and featured members of Yellow Magic Orchestra, including Kenji Omura on guitar and Hideki Matsutake on synth programming.

The album includes a self-cover of ā€œShinkiro No Machiā€ which she originally wrote for her previous band Sugar Babe’s album ā€œSongsā€.
