2025 repress; LP version. Obi strip; Includes two-page insert. Wewantsounds present a reissue of Akiko Yano's Tadaima., originally released in 1981. The first release Wewantsounds' ambitious program to release Akiko Yano's albums outside of Japan Tadaima. ("I'm home" in Japanese) is Yano's fifth studio album and a synth-pop masterpiece, co-produced by her then husband Ryuichi Sakamoto and featuring all the musicians from Yellow Magic Orchestra (Haruomi HosonoYukihiro Takahashi, and Sakamoto), the group she was touring with at the time. Japan's best kept secret, Akiko Yano is one of the most ground-breaking artists to come out of the '70s Japanese music scene along with Haruomi Hosono and Ryuichi Sakamoto. A piano child prodigy, Yano started her solo recording career in 1976 at just 21, recording her debut album Japanese Girl with no less than Little Feat as the backing band. This album created a stir on the Japanese scene and Yano was on the map. She went on to record a series of superb albums mixing funk, electro, and city pop featuring the cream of Japanese (and sometimes American and English) musicians; The fact she was producing, writing and composing herself made her a true maverick in a very male-dominated industry. These albums, incredibly, have never been released outside of Japan to this day. Tadaima. is Yano's first attempt to leave the acoustic piano aside and delve into the synth sounds of the early '80s. The result is a fascinating electro pop masterpiece showcasing her talent as a writer, musician, and singer, creating her own unique universe. Mixing Japanese and English lyrics, Yano crafts perfect pop songs such as "Tadaima.", "I Sing", "Harusaki Kobeni" (which became one of her most famous songs after its use in a Japanese cosmetics ad), while "Taiyo No Onara" is a suite composed of nine short stories written by children. Contributors on Tadaima. also include Shigesato Itoi, one of Japan's most famous copywriters (for Studio Ghibli among others) who wrote two tracks on the album and his friend legendary illustrator Teruhiko Yumura -- aka King Terry -- who revolutionized underground manga in the '70s with his "heta-uma" (bad-good) style, as showcased on the album's striking artwork. Tadaima. is the perfect entry point to Akiko Yano's unique body or work. This reissue includes original artwork by cult illustrator King Terry and a new introduction by renowned DJ Joakim.

No pocket
The shirt is nice. My son is 6' and 220 lbs. It fits him perfectly. This will be baggy on a thin guy. This is perfect for someone who is thick. I am very disappointed it doesn't have a pocket. My son specifically wanted a pocket. The pic shows a pocket! Yes the fine print in the description says no pocket, but isn't that what pics are for so I don't have to read the 1000 word description?

Very Nice Dress Shirt Will Buy Again
Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
I am happy with this purchase, it came in a day and was packaged nicely. The shirt looks exactly as expected, a nice clean white, looks sharp and quality, and feels nice too. It’s got just the right amount of stretch without being too much, fits great, very true to size, and overall love the shirt. My only complaint is it did show up a bit wrinkled, which leads me to believe it’s not exactly wrinkle free the way I had hoped, but it is minimal. Overall, a great value for the price, feels comparable to a lot of my shirts 2 to 3 times the price.
