This led to her signing with Better Days\/Nippon Columbia and the release of her debut album, \u0026lt;Funny Walkin’\u0026gt;. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn charge of arrangements is ‘Master’ Yuji Ohno(大野雄二) of fame, who weaves a classy pop record with bold jazz vibes. Sato’s nonchalant, whispering, vocal style – which would go on to deeply influence the later Shibuya-kei style – comes together with Sano’s broad musical arsenal encompassing ragtime, good time rock n roll, and jazz to create one beauty of a record. The opening track ‘Subterranean Couple’ has been rediscovered to great acclaim amid the recent ‘city pop’ craze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eSubterranean Couple , Twilight, Midnight Rock and Roll Dance, Tightrope Walk, Funny Walkin' In Red Dress, Ragtime Fever , Street Corner Betty, From Saturday Night To Sunday Morning, Stardust Drive, Pianist' Lover, In Love, Night Isadora\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beat Ball Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40875378344092,"sku":"BEAT77","price":38.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/BEAT77.jpg?v=1631295985","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/nanako-sato-funny-walkin","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
