Takashi switched to Yen Records, a subsidiary of Alfa Japan, for this rather straight-ahead pop album.
That being said, the lack of studio trickery or any need to hook up with Western rock stars (apart from usual suspect Bill Nelson) seems to focus Takahashi's attention on writing some hummable melodies, with several dips into the inkwells of Lennon, '60s girl groups, and the British Invasion to supply the inspiration (though not the sound, which is typically synth-driven new wave).
Instrumental influences come by way of Barry White, sitar rock, and Northern soul.
"Coincidence" leads off side two with its striking wall-of-sound production, its nods to "Strawberry Fields Forever," and the kind of sequenced propulsion that marks his best work in YMO; it stands out as the most successful track here.
