唯一無二のオルタナティヴな歌姫が交流の深いVampilliaを従えて、自身の名曲群をリアレンジした歌手活動35周年作品。シンフォニックで混沌としたアンサンブルが“好き好き大好き”や“赤い戦車”といった楽曲に込められた情念とドラマを増幅しまくっており、ひたすらに圧倒される。一方で、可憐なピアノが導く“12階の一番奥”や、クラシカルな“怒濤の恋愛”の静謐なアプローチも美しい。オリエンタルな表題の新曲も収録。

Jun Togawa With Vampillia - "Watashi Ga Nakou Hototogis (meaning I'd sing instead of the cuckoo)"
Jun Togawa celebrates the 35th anniversary of her singing career with an album where she leads her close associate Vampillia to re-arrange an array of her classics. Here, the one-of-a-kind avant-garde diva blows your mind throughout with a symphonic yet chaotic ensemble that amplifies a pathos and drama of originals like “Suki Suki Daisuki/I Love You So Much” and “Akai Sensha (meaning Red Tank).” There are, on the other hand, tranquil moments like the little piano of “12 Kai No Ichiban Oku (meaning Farthest Down On The 12th Floor)” and the classical mood of “Doto No Ren-ai (meaning Love Rage).” Also, the album features a new tune, the oriental “Watashi Ga Nakou Hototogis (meaning I'd sing instead of the cuckoo).”
