notes: 'Part of the Japan Archival Series.

  "Often regarded as Japan''s first female singer-songwriter, Sachiko Kanenobu created
  an enduring legacy with Misora, a timeless classic of intricate finger-picking,
  gently soaring melodies, and rustic Laurel Canyon vibes. Originally released in
  1972 on URC (Underground Record Club), one of Japan''s first independent record
  labels, the Haruomi Hosono-produced album remains one of the most beloved works
  to come out of Japan''s folk and rock scenes centered around Tokyo and Kansai areas
  in the early 1970s."
