Description:

Masanori Fujiwara, vocalist of the band Twelve Splendors and the first Japanese blonde rock vocalist, has finally reissued his solo album (on CD for the first time). This album, which started as an album of "Juniatsuki" but was released under his solo name due to various reasons, is oriented toward a melodious sound with strong Fujiwara's vocals and exquisitely interspersed melancholy twin-leads. The heavy (1), which has a hard rock taste, and the medium numbers (4) and (5) are powerful and reminiscent of the Twelve Towers. The album is also an excellent work of melodic hard rock, with melodies that stand out throughout the album, including (2), (3), and (7), which are a perfect blend of catchy pop and melancholy melodies, and the ballads (6) and (8). This is a masterpiece reissue of a record that also reminds us of the richness of the indie scene at that time.
Four previously unreleased live recordings by Jyuuni are included as bonus tracks.
