Jewaluna (Clear Green Vinyl)

The 12th original studio album, released on July 18, 1990. This is the first time it has been released on LP, and due to the CD recording time at the time of release, it will be released as a 45 rpm 2-disc set with higher sound quality. The album title is a combination of Jewel, which means "jewel" in English, and Luna, which means "moon" in Latin. It was co-produced by Matsui Goro, who wrote the lyrics for 7 of the 10 songs, and Nakayama Miho, who wrote the lyrics and music for 3 songs ("Kuchibiru", "Soshite Sono Natsu", and "Tengoku e no Kagi"). The single "Goddesses' Adventures", which was released at the same time, is included in the album version, and "Kore ni I Love You", composed by Sakiya Kenjiro, which was released as a single in a different version in 1991 after the album release, is also included. Other composers included Saito Hideo, Hayashida Kenji, Nakanishi Keizo & Konishi Takao, giving the album a breath of fresh air. The album opens with "Kuchibiru," written and sung by Nakayama Miho, which evokes the feeling of a fresh summer breeze. It includes ambitious songs such as the gorgeous "Banban Jewel," which ties in with the album's title, and the comfortable "La Mer of the White Sand," with its bossa nova touch. Like "SUMMER BREEZE" (3rd album) and "Mind Game" (7th album), this is an album themed around summer.
