Terumasa Hino – Detour

This limited first-press vinyl release from Universal Music showcases a curated selection from it's extensive catalog, highlighting rare or previously non-analog titles chosen to meet strong global demand, including inbound collectors, and is presented on colored vinyl designed to complement each jacket's artwork; reflecting the growing resurgence of Japanese crossover and fusion alongside the global city pop revival, this lineup features artists such as Masayoshi Takanaka, Jun Fukamachi, CASIOPEA, The Players, Himiko Kikuchi, NORIKI, Mariah, and Ryo Kawasaki, whose popularity has surged among younger listeners embracing the genre without preconceived notions, while also capturing current interest in ambient, techno-leaning, and soundtrack-style listening; this particular album, originally released in 1988, marks Terumasa Hino's first release after joining the Who-Ring label under Toshiba EMI, blending cutting-edge New York-inspired urban contemporary sounds with his signature cornet and flugelhorn, featuring production contributions from Lara on four tracks along with vocal-led selections that make it one of his most accessible works, newly remastered and cut by Katsutoshi Kitamura at Mixer's Labo on Pure Vinyl for a refreshed listening experience.
