Liner Notes: Yuji Shibasaki\n\nFor Hong Kong singer Shirley Kwan, this was the studio album that marked her Japanese debut. Produced with a stellar lineup of composers of the time—including Hideaki Tokunaga, Takashi Toshimi, Mitsuo Hagita, and Keiichi Oku—this album has become something of a holy grail for city pop and girl pop enthusiasts! Shirley Kwan also signed with *Polygram* in Hong Kong and released her first Cantonese album, *Winter Love*, that same year. She was active not only in Hong Kong and Japan but also in Taiwan. Although she didn’t achieve a major hit and temporarily withdrew from the Japanese market, she later resumed her activities in Japan under the name “Shirley Kwong,” riding the wave of the “Asian Wave.” She established a strong, enduring popularity in her home country and is still loved by many today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sad Disco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419036082465,"sku":"4988044139190","price":5390.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988044139190.jpg?v=1788219835","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988044139190","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
