Showa Idol Rare Record: Chieko Matsumoto With Autographed Shikishi (Color Paper) Chieko's Viva Animals LP Record with Obi Canyon Records C-9005 Released in 1976, with Lyric Sheet This is the 1st album by idol singer Chieko Matsumoto, released in 1976, which opens with the mind-blowing line, "We are animals rather than humans." The A-side, consisting of talking and singing, is a rare groove. The biggest highlight is the funky disco tune "Midnight Disco." The B-side also includes "Bathbon no Uta," which became a hit through a commercial featuring Chieko herself. Personally, I'm also a fan of the jacket design, which is reminiscent of Tadanori Yokoo, and Chieko-san's pose and fashion on the back cover. Both the record surface and the jacket have no noticeable scratches or stains, and playback has been confirmed. Please consider this, understanding that this is a record from over 50 years ago.
