Art and inserts for Tomoyo Harada’s late-1986 album Soshite. Harada maintained a varied career, moving between acting, pop releases like this one, and later adult contemporary work. Soshite feels like a quiet standout from its era — difficult to come across today, yet notably more consistent than many of its peers. While a lot of J-pop albums of the time hinge on one or two strong tracks, this record holds together remarkably well front to back. The LP’s art direction complements that restraint, favoring atmosphere over spectacle.
