Akiko Yano (矢野顕子) – To・Ki・Me・Ki (ト・キ・メ・キ)

Decided to upload another Akiko album. This one quickly became a, or maybe even the, top favourite of mine. It’s maybe her most “Kate Bush” like album. However Kate’s debut and this one came out in the same year so it’s more of a coincidence :).

Philips first pressing from 1978.
