DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Tomoko Aran’s masterpiece “Fuyu Kukan” finally arrives as a definitive 2LP edition — 180g heavyweight vinyl, cut at 45 RPM.
Originally released in 1983, the album was conceived with a more expansive structure in mind. However, due to the sonic characteristics of the recordings and the time limitations of vinyl at the time, groove interference became unavoidable, forcing the producers to abandon cutting one track in its entirety.
This long-lost song, “Ji・re・n・ma (25sai no Yuutsu)” (a different composition sharing the same title as the bonus track), is finally included here, allowing the album to be realized in its complete form on analog for the very first time.
A quintessential City Pop classic that has seen massive global reappraisal in recent years is reborn after 43 years — now presented in its ultimate, audiophile-grade configuration.
The album features numerous timeless tracks, including the advance single “Body to Body,” “Midnight Pretender”, which found worldwide success after being sampled in The Weeknd’s “Out of Time,” and “I’m in Love,” long used as the opening theme of a popular U.S. podcast.
Also noteworthy is the album’s groundbreaking cover artwork, which made waves at the time for its innovative use of early CG technology.

LOVE the design! And packaging was fabtastic - truly a wonderful gift (for myself!!!!)
Plays great, looks super cool! This music (and movie) are deeply special to me, so glad you had this on vinyl!
This item came perfectly wrapped and sealed, helix sounds is an amazing seller and I would gladly buy from them again
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 :)
The vinyl in great condition got here when expected and sounds amazing
fast service & quick response, Good+
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.
