Here, too, HIMIKO's ability to compose and arrange as a melody maker is on full display. But this album is especially impressive for her talent as a player, her wonderful touch on the piano, and the beauty of the sound, recorded with the latest equipment of the time.

This album is really a masterpiece. I recently discovered Himiko Kikuchi thanks to KZbin recommending me Flying Beagle, and I instantly fell in love. I started listening to her discography and all of her production is worth listening. This is one of my favorite records. Thanks for uploading it pal, greetings from Italy

[@ILLBLEED5]

this is incredible, how is it possible to feel emotions capable of creating such a generic and boring piece of music while being inspired by southern Spain?

[@blurryvision942]

how is it possible to write a comment that labels a jazz-centric japanese album fused with synthesizers and inspired by southern spain boring? Saying you don't like it is one thing, but you really just can't get away with calling it boring in any context lmao

[@marcospina162]

I think you just might be bored yourself. Come back with a clearer mind and you won't find it boring. And ain't no way you found it generic. Either you've heard a lot of the genre or none of it.

[@drakusmorgan6770]

Flying beagle is amazing but every single other album sounds like jungle music. Why is there a bongo and a jungle beat. It’s gross and off putting. Doesn’t make sense with the synth at all

[@blurryvision942]

Flying beagle is most people's introduction for a reason. That album is less rooted in big band jazz and moreso takes inspiration from the pop music of the time.
