Description

This is a preorder. Estimated shipping date: Q4 2026 (October)

Alone captures Masayoshi Takanaka at a peak moment of his solo career - a 1981 guitar-led session where jazz fusion drive meets city pop shimmer and funk-forward rhythm work. Originally issued on Kitty Records and long prized by collectors, the album sits in the lineage of his celebrated 1980s catalog alongside approachable instrumental hooks and lyrical Japanese vocal turns.

This Japan import reissue pairs a remaster cut by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios with a limited first pressing on 180g clear deep blue vinyl, plus a bonus red 7-inch EP featuring the film-record track WHITE LAGOON that first appeared as a flexi with the original release. Eight album tracks span high-speed fusion workouts, ballad warmth, and quirky closer PENGUIN DANCER for a definitive vinyl edition of a fan-favorite title.
