Review: We're thrilled to see and help announce the reissue of Hitomi "Penny" Tohyama's iconic 1983 album Sexy Robot, a cornerstone of 80s Japanese AOR and city-pop. This reissue celebrates Tohyama's fifth release, which captures the vibrant New York sound of the era and paved the way for the Beacon Sound movement in Japan. The album features Tohyama's silky vocals paired with infectious beats and some of the best city-pop of the era. Sexy Robot stands out for its blend of smooth melodies and energetic rhythms, presenting an authentic slice of 80s music culture. This vinyl reissue offers a pristine listening experience, although the record has some noticeable scuffs that do not impact playback. This reissue is a fantastic entry point into the world of city-pop and a celebration of Hitomi Tohyama's enduring legacy.
