Description

This is a preorder. Estimated shipping date: Q3 2026(August)

A bold and vibrant debut, DON’T BE STUPID by Himiko Kikuchi marked her breakout into the Japanese jazz-fusion scene in 1980. Blending jazz, funk, disco, and Latin influences, the album delivers a confident, groove-driven sound that sets the tone for her early career.

Led by her expressive keyboard style and backed by a strong ensemble featuring Ernie Watts, the record flows between smooth melodies and energetic arrangements. Tracks like “Stormy Spring” and “Flight In The Moonlight” highlight her melodic skill, while others bring a more playful, rhythm-focused feel. Now reissued on vinyl, it’s an essential pick for fans of Japanese fusion, city pop, and jazz-funk.
