SUNSHOWER

Taeko Ohnuki's second solo album, made with Ryuichi Sakamoto at the arranging desk and the American drummer Chris Parker among the players. Its cool jazz-fusion settings and her plain, unhurried writing made little noise at the time. Decades later it was reissued and passed around as a model of what is now called city pop, a quiet record that found its audience late.
