  • Remastered by Yoshinori Sunahara
  • Cut by Bernie Grundman
  • Originally released in 1984

WILDĀ &Ā MOODYĀ is the artist’s sixth and last studio solo album on theĀ YENĀ Label. In contrast to his previous albumĀ Tomorrow’s Just Another Day, which mostly consisted of mellow tunes, where half had Japanese lyrics, this album explores digital funk sounds and features all English lyrics setting the stage to pursue a global audience.

Iva DaviesĀ of the Australian bandĀ IcehouseĀ appears on Tracks 2, 7, and 8; lyrics for track 2 were written byĀ Steve JansenĀ from the bandĀ JAPAN, who considers Takahashi his mentor, and Track 4 is a cover of theĀ Neil YoungĀ classic taken from the 1970 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album Deja Vu.

Yoshinori SunaharaĀ is credited for the remastering and vinyl-master cutting was done byĀ Bernie Grundman.
