Not a photo of actual LP.

A debut album that gives glimpses of his natural talent.

This was her debut album, released in 1978. It contains 11 songs, including her debut single "Come Back, My Time." Although she is now active as a singer-songwriter, at the beginning of her debut, her album consisted almost entirely of songs written by other artists.

This album was written by a group of talented artists, including "Summer Lover" by Tatsuro Yamashita, who would later become her partner, and "Shining Starry Night" by the YMO duo of lyrics by Yukihiro Takahashi and music by Haruomi Hosono. From a label perspective, she tended to be treated more as an idol singer.
