ı TRIPPY ® PSYCHEDELIC ı 

Lady Hysteric, Tamahime Sama ranshin! 34 years ago today on the 25th of January 1984, Jun Togawa’s debut album came out and with it, a bounty of sweet yet twisted artpop songs about surging romance, insect women and menstruation.

Named 18th Japanese album of all time by Rolling Stone Japan in 2007, Tamahime Sama cements Togawa as the counterculture icon she is, embracing the darker aspects of female iconography and commanding multiple genres with the voice that shatters through the Heisei era like a fist.

This is one of Jun’s few albums that have been translated entirely into English, largely by dedicated fans, and you can peruse them at your leisure on the masterlist here.
