A nice 12” single by Sakura on Toshiba EMI from 1999!! The first tracks on both side have female vocal in Japanese on them, yet this 12” has inst mixes for both tracks!! A-2 is a nice mid tempo disco style track with mid 80’s fusion / disco feeling to it!! The track has midtempo disco style beats(about 110 bpm?), groovy basslines, moody keys, funky horn sections and funky guitar solo in the middle!! B-side track is a downtempo, also mid 80’s style, very slow R&B type of track!! Please click the link below to listen to Real Audio sample!!

***All records are play-graded and should play fine unless stated otherwise

Gradings for the record:
Ex = bought new and played less than a few times(by myself)
VG++ = may have a few light surface marks at the worst, plays fine
VG+ = may have more than a few light surface marks, but plays fine
VG = may have lots of surface marks, so it does not look beautiful, but should play fine
G = may have audible flaws(in which case, the defect will be stated)

Gradings for the jacket:
NA = comes in plain black/white sleeve(in this case, the plain sleeve maybe in G - VG++ condition)
VG++ = no visible flaw such as seam split, bend, price sticker, writings etc..
VG+ = general wear, but nothing serious
VG = minor seam split、price sticker residue etc..
G = water damage, major seam split(more than 2 inches)
