Description
Akiko Yano is a legend in Japan. Her 1981 synth-pop masterpiece 'Tadaima.', is co-produced by husband Ryuichi Sakamoto and features the YMO musicians: Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi and Sakamoto. Original artwork by cult illustrator King Terry.
Tadaima, which translates “I’m home” in Japanese, was recorded in 1981 and saw Yano embrace electronic influences for the first time. As a producer and composer, Yano was something of a maverick operator in a very male-dominated industry.
