Himiko Kikuchi - Look Your Back!

From Himiko Kikuchi's 1987 Album "Flying Beagle"
Cut from: • Himiko Kikuchi - Flyin...
I couldnt find any uploads of these songs outside of the full album that weren't plagued with weird panning and mixing issues so i took it upon myself to cut out each song from the full album version.

They removed this from Apple Music and I will never mentally recover from this tragedy

Himiko was born in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.
Started playing classical piano at the age of 7, as well as playing the electone and pipe organ.
At the age of 12, she participated in the "Yamaha Electone Competition" where she performed Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" and won second prize.
She studied composition from the age of 15 and won the Yamaha Electone Competition at the age of 16.　
In college, she majored in music and graduated from the Music Department of Miyagi Gakuin University.
In 1979, she performed at the "Montreux Jazz Festival" in Switzerland as a member of the "Inner Galaxy Orchestra led by Bingo Miki.
The following year, 1980, she made her major record debut in Japan with "Don't Be Stupid," recorded with Ernie Watts (Sax).
Since then, she released a series of original albums in the 80s and 90s.
Unfortunately, her works were ignored by the music industry in Europe and the U.S., as she did not have the opportunity to sign release contracts in Western countries and international markets at her peak. So her releases albums remained in Japan, and unknown hidden from the rest of the world for a long time,until the advent of the Internet and media like CZcams.
