This is an album by Japanese Kayo (pop music in the Showa era) singer-songwriter, Meiko Nakahara (中原めいこ). This album is famous for the fusion of Kayo songs and Western pop music in the early year. This made one of the foundations of J-pop music. Album art was designed by graphic designer Kazuhiko Ota (太田和彦) (1946-). He began his career as an advertising designer for Shiseido and worked as a design director for music, film, and products.
