Takako Mamiya's first and only studio album was released in 1982 by Kitty Records. It did not receive much attention initially, but has gained popularity in recent years thanks to the city-pop boom and to YouTube's algorithm.

The typeface used for the album title is Ultra Bodoni Italic by ATF, while the artist’s name is set in the most condensed variant of Lenox Hill by Photo-Lettering, titled Lenox Hill Triple Condensed, with the only numbered weight being number 3. The typeface has a similar structure to Filmotype Galaxy/Gable but a different letter a.

Specimen from Photo-Lettering’s One Line Manual of Styles in 1971 (p. 108). The letter a matches the one used in the album art.
