Japanese Girl by Akiko Yano This 1976 album is stunning on first listen, and gets better stuck on repeat, which it has been for the past month or so. Backed by Lowell George and Little Feat on the "American Side," and by Haruomi Hosono and a killer squad of Japanese musicians on the "Japanese Side," the songwriting is great, the vocals amazing, and the breadth of styles immense. Highly recommended.
