Light In The Attic's Pacific Breeze series has been a hit among Japanese music fans worldwide. It offers a well - curated collection of top - notch City Pop recordings from Japan's bubble era (70s - 80s), covering AOR, R&B, jazz fusion, funk, boogie, and disco. Pacific Breeze 3: Japanese City Pop, AOR & Boogie 1975 - 1987 is the latest in this famous series, featuring rare gems. The appearance of Pizzicato Five hints at the rise of Shibuya - kei, and the influence of hip - hop and electro is clear, like in Miho Fujiwara's 'Heartbeat'. This volume is female - centric, with many tracks sung by well - known Japanese actresses and pop idols. It includes techno - pop classics from Susan, Miharu Koshi, and Chiemi Manabe, funk from Atsuko Nina and Naomi Akimoto, and a reggae jam from Teresa Noda. There's also jazz fusion by Parachute and Hiroyuki Namba, a synth fantasy from Osamu Shoji, and great pop by Makoto Matsushita and Chu Kosaka. This limited - edition set comes as a 'Pacific seafoam' green double vinyl pressing. It has remastered audio, a custom die - cut obi strip, full - color printed inner sleeves, a printed foldout insert with detailed liner notes and artist bios, and is released by Light In The Attic in 2023.
Using this vinyl set is easy. Just place it on your record player and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. If you need to clean the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to gently remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals as they can damage the vinyl. When you're done listening, carefully put the vinyl back in its sleeve and the sleeve back in the album cover to keep it in good condition.
