- Information
Tamahime-sama is the debut studio album released by Togawa Jun. The album is Togawa's first solo work outside of her bands. This album was co-produced by Togawa and 飯尾芳史. The title track was composed by Hosono Haruomi, the bassist for YMO. The album recieved several reissues, with the latest being after she was picked up by Sony Music Entertainment in 2006. The Japanese music magazine, Rolling Stone Japan, rated the album as "the 18th greatest Japanese album of all time[1]." The album has been described as very theatrical and dark, and it contains a large range of musical styles such as electronic to traditional folk, which are often all used in the same song. The cover of the album fetures Togawa as a dragonfly. During promotional events such as photographs and live performances of songs from the album, Togawa wore dragonfly wings.
The album reached #14 on the weekly Oricon chart, during it's original run. The only reissue of the album to chart was Sony's 2006 reissue, which reached #234 on the weekly Oricon chart.
