Akiko Yano (矢野顕子) - オーエス オーエス

Hey another great album from Akiko that I hadn't uploaded. Some of my favourite songs from here on here. This is the Midi Inc. repressing from 1986. Sadly, not a gatefold but it was way cheaper :).

If you are looking for the song 終りの季節 (Owari no Kisetsu), it's only on the bonus single of the original pressing and any CD version. Not on my pressing.
