docile is a quietly beloved early-90s Japanese pop album that shines through detail - soft melodic writing, carefully shaped arrangements, and that intimate “album listening” flow that fits vinyl perfectly. This is Yumi Tanimura’s sixth original album, now finally available on wax with a 2026 cut that brings fresh life to the dynamics and warmth of the original sessions. With a strong arranger lineup including Masaaki Omura and Tatsuya Nishiwaki (plus contributions from Nobuyuki Shimizu and Seiji Kameda), this first vinyl edition is a great pick for collectors looking for understated, sophisticated Japanese pop beyond the obvious city pop classics.
