================================================================================

Cut on an unassuming flexi-disc, this wonderful jazz two-sider by Yuji Ohno showed his writing chops for sophisticated commercial music. This in particular was made for Nakaura Electric, a now defunct electronics retailer once based in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Nakaura. Image music of an audio room created for the promotion of audio equipment by Nakaura Electric. Rather than just being a simple CM, it also expressed the company's vision on audio.
Cue Sheet. Theme song of an "Afternoon Jazz" (アフタヌーンジャズ) music program broadast by Nakaura on FM Tokyo in the 1970s.

Yuji Ohno - piano
Kunimitsu Inaba - bass
Masahiko Ozu - drums
Toshiaki Yokota - flute (#1), bass flute (#1), alto flute (#2)
