Hitomi Tohyama - Sexy Robot [Nippon Columbia]

Format: 2LP in printed sleeve + Obi.

We are delighted to see and help announce the reissue of Sexy Robot, Hitomi "Penny" Tohyama's iconic 1983 album, a cornerstone of Japanese AOR and 80s city-pop. This reissue celebrates Tohyama's fifth release, which captures the vibrant New York sound of the era and paved the way for the Beacon Sound movement in Japan. The album stands out for Tohyama's smooth and silky vocals, accompanied by infectious rhythms and some of the best city-pop tracks of the era.

Sexy Robot excels with its fusion of smooth melodies and energetic rhythms, offering an authentic portrayal of 80s music culture. This vinyl reissue provides an impeccable listening experience, although the record has some visible marks that do not affect its playback. An excellent gateway into the world of city-pop and a tribute to Hitomi Tohyama's enduring legacy.
