Sheena Ringo's debut album arrived fully formed: punk guitars, cabaret, jazz chords and old kayōkyoku melody, held together by a writer of twenty with a precise ear for words. It sold over a million copies and made her one of the defining Japanese artists of the following decades. The ambition here is still raw; what makes it last is how much she already knew she wanted.
