住所不定無職の面々からのアプローチで実現したという、壊れかけのテープレコーダーズのヴォーカル&オルガン奏者の初のソロ作。サイケを通過したロック・バンドでの彼女の姿とは異なり、本作ではどこか懐かしくメランコリックな魅力に溢れたポップソングを披露している。切ない歌詞と荘厳なメロが美しい表題曲や、ミニマルなリズムがクセになる“そうじふりんぽ”などを素朴ながらも真摯に歌い紡ぐ佇まいも印象的だ。

Haruna Yusa "Spring has Sprung"
Brought to fruition by being approached by the girls of the rock band Jusho Futei Mushoku (lit. unemployed drifter), the vocalist/organist from the rock band, Kowarekake no TAPERECORDERS (HALF-BROKEN TAPE RECORDERS), has released her first solo album. Compared to the posture in her rock band which went through a psychedelic phase, she shows a different side by singing pop songs which glows with melancholic glamor. Haruna’s simple yet genuine approach towards her songs is quite remarkable, presented well in the bitter sweet lyrics with sublime melodies on the title song or the addictive minimal rhythm on the track "Soujifurinpo".
