Minnie - Omoide ja Nemurenai (1991)

MINNIE's sixth (and unfortunately, final) album, released on November 21, 1991. Features more of a soulful, bluesy band style approach than most of her previous releases. All lyrics were penned by Goro Matsui, and MINNIE fully composed two songs on the album ("Senaka ni Shita KISS" and "Watashi no Gospel"), as well as partially composed another two ("Ta--ihen" and "Taiheiyou Koukiatsu").

She and SANSHIRO also crossed paths again, with him composing "Mangetsu In the mood" for her and playing the saxophone, under his real/full name of Sanshiro Fujimoto.

The recording is very clear, open, and natural-sounding, with good bass. A blurb towards the back of the booklet boasts about using something called the ET System (Extra Tone System) developed by IMAGEX to master the album with. Not sure if it's actually responsible for the crisp sound we got, but it's nice regardless.
