YMMV / Kenji Sawada

• Audience-Alienating Premise: Kenji's concept album Onnatachiyo. A concept album based on The Tale of Genji from a singer mostly known for his anthemic live performances, with lyrics outright written in haiku freestyle, and complex instrumentation with Julie's backing band EXOTICS buried under layers of synthesizers from Yellow Magic Orchestra collaborator Hideaki Matsutake. The album had virtually no live tour attached to it, and is probably the most polarizing album of Sawada's '80s albums.
