yeah that is really excellent... the most extensive thing i've seen written about her in english and it's good to see that they've covered everything, not just her 70s/early 80s stuff.

as i was reading i was thinking they've skipped the live albums, they've skipped the piano albums... and then there they were.

Time to get the giant 'Honto no Kimochi ichiban' foam finger out again, but good to see it getting the props it deserves.

Oh that's excellent and useful, thanks for sharing. I now fully agree with their assessment that Gohan ga Dekitayo is one of the finest pop albums ever - not a weak moment imo. I listened to Japanese Boy and OSOS more recently, and liked the former but loved the latter. I'll probably end up listening to everything eventually
