Description:

This is the third installment in the "Yukihiro Takahashi x Yukihiro Early 80s" reissue series, which sheds light on Yukihiro Takahashi's solo work from the early 1980s. The "Fish of April Soundtrack" is the original soundtrack to "Fish of April" (released in 1986, co-starring Kanoko Kyo, Tetsuro Tanba, Miyoko Akaza, and others), directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi and starring Yukihiro Takahashi in his first starring role, and was released in 1985, prior to the film's release. Takahashi himself produced and composed all the songs. Members: Koji Ueno (strings arrangement, p), Yoshiaki Shirai (g), Pierre Baroux (vo). The only vocal tracks on this album are T1 and T8, and the rest are instrumental pieces, but the unique mood of this album, which also pays homage to old Western movies, is as appealing as an original album, and this is another important work that is indispensable when talking about Yukihiro Takahashi.
