    Description

    Released in 1980, "Ride On Time" is a cornerstone of the Japanese City Pop movement and the album that propelled Tatsuro Yamashita to superstardom.

    The record is a masterclass in production, blending high-energy funk, sophisticated jazz fusion, and breezy AOR (Adult Oriented Rock). From the explosive opening horns of the title track—famous for its association with Maxell cassette commercials—to the soulful, introspective "Rainy Day," the album captures the essence of an idealized, neon-lit urban summer.

    Yamashita’s meticulous attention to detail is on full display here; he serves not only as the vocalist with his signature multi-tracked harmonies but also as the primary composer and arranger. The 2023 remastered vinyl edition preserves the warmth and dynamic range of these sessions, making it a definitive piece for collectors of 80s Japanese music and crate-diggers alike.
