Songs by Sugar Babe
"Songs" is the first album by Sugar Babe. Despite being regarded as a City Pop staple and arguably one of the best Japanese pop albums of all time, members of Sugar Babe would go on to focus on solo careers that are showered with praise by audiences and critics alike (especially extraordinaires Tatsuro Yamashita and Taeko Ōnuki).
(Downloading the album includes 10 bonus tracks.)
