FASCINATION

Description:

Her first album, released in December 1979, includes her debut single "Fascination," which was released in advance in September, and the second single "Morning Kiss," which was released at the same time as the album. Of the 10 songs on the album, all but the instrumental tracks are her own compositions (including co-writes), and she suddenly shows off her abilities to the fullest. This is because from the beginning of her debut, she had a policy that she would not appear on TV or hold concerts, but would instead concentrate on creating music and making a solid record. She also used an illustration on the album cover of this album to emphasize her music-first image strategy. However, a glossy photo of her on her debut single attracted some attention, and she began to attract attention as a "mysterious, beautiful singer.The album's catchphrase, "fashion music," was a reference to the band's goal of creating music that people would want to keep by their side at all times, and from then on, the album was aimed at students and young businessmen, and the band established a stance as an idol for adults. The arrangements were made by many of the Tsutsuumi Kyohei artists. The arrangements were done mainly by Osamu Totsuka, who was known for many of Kyohei Tsutsubi's works and videos and had worked with Junko Yagami and Akemi Ishii, as well as guitarist Shigeru Suzuki, who showed his skill in bossa nova and AOR arrangements, for three songs, and Masataka Matsutoya arranged "Good Luck" with a gorgeous, elegant orchestra. This first album is still often regarded as one of Asami Kado's masterpieces. The bonus track "Night" is a coupling of the second single "Morning Kiss," which was not included on the original album.
