Tazumi Toshima - Tazz: City Pop Masterpiece Original LP + Tomadoi Twilight 7" Single

* Still Night

Released in 1979, this is the 3rd album by "Tazz," the artist name of Tatsumi Toyoshima, a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka Prefecture. Featuring a whistling intro that gradually transforms into a Latin rhythm, with "Pecker"'s percussion shining on the track "Waratte Samba," a fantastic example of music. Includes the masterpiece "Yomosugara," a track with a superb groovy rhythm featuring guitars by Kawamura and Matsubara.

This record was featured in "Yoshizawa dynamite.jp's Supervision (Wamono A to Z)," "LIGHT MELLOW Wamono 669 / SPECIAL," and "JAPANESE CLUB GROOVE DISC GUIDE." 1979, Polydor original (MR-3201) pressing. >Note: Jacket has scratches, tape repair at the top. Liner notes have stains.

* Lonely One

Released in 1981, this is the 5th album. Featuring guitar by Matsubara and Ishikawa, bass by Tomikura, keyboards by Togashi, drums by Miyazaki, and chorus by Matsushita and Umegaki, among others. The album includes the cool "Smoky Tokyo Night," which evokes "Steely Dan." The slow song "Lonely One" with a brilliant chorus by Matsushita is ◎. The track "Gentle Rain" is amazing.

"Onna Hard Road" and "Kuro no Dress" are superb. Includes the pleasant track "Sail Away," etc. No filler tracks, and this is the least seen album under her name. 1981, Polydor original (28MX-2011) pressing. >Note: Both the jacket and liner notes have noticeable stains.
