Description

The one-and-only “sexy mondo” cult classic Kikko Matsuoka - Love Love 25 O’Clock returns on clear pink colored vinyl.

This marks the only record released by actress Kikko Matsuoka—also known for her role as the MC on the TV program 11PM—and a highly sought-after title famed for its provocative (“sexy cover”) artwork, now reissued on clear pink vinyl.

Featuring contemporary hit songs of the era, moodily reinterpreted by Shinichi Tanabe—renowned for his work on the Kosuke Kindaichi series—this album is uniquely structured with sultry spoken interludes woven between the tracks. Long cherished by devoted collectors, it has earned a cult following for its distinctive concept.

With its sophisticated, slightly cheeky spoken passages on matters of love and relationships, combined with mellow, easy-listening arrangements, this release stands as a hidden gem of Japanese mondo music.

Original release: December 25, 1971
