[Content Description]

Released in 1991 following their debut album, "Chappie, Don't Cry," this mini-album was the first project and production by the band members, with the goal of "making a Fishmans album suitable for the cold season."

This album condenses the primitive elements of Fishmans beyond the reggae/rocksteady elements instilled in them by their first album producer, Kazufumi Kodama.

This is a valuable record of the early Fishmans, inextricably linked to "Chappie." The album also includes classic hits that would go on to be sung by future Fishmans, such as "That Girl is Sleeping," written by Kensuke Kojima, and the anthem "Sakurareru Kimochi," sung solely with Hakase's piano and Shinji Sato's vocals.

Fishmans... In 2021, marking the 30th anniversary of their debut, the documentary "Film: Fishmans" was released to great acclaim. While vocalist and songwriter Shinji Sato passed away prematurely in 1999, this solitary band continues to garner passionate love from many musicians, creators, and new generations of listeners into the 21st century. Original member Kinichi Mogi, currently the drummer for Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, continues to play Shinji Sato's music, attracting new fans in addition to the original fans. To commemorate the 30th anniversary, archival recordings are being released one after another.
