Japanese Touch Anime Vintage 45 RPM Vinyl Illustrated Sleeve 80s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Japanese 45 rpm vinyl features an illustrated sleeve inspired by the anime "Touch" (タッチ), an adaptation of Mitsuru Adachi's famous manga. The visible side of the sleeve shows three iconic characters from the series, in an art style typical of 1980s animated productions. The illustration features a young woman in the center, a baseball player in a white uniform and black cap with an "M," and a teenager in casual attire, lying down and holding a potato or bread. The anime's title "タッチ" is displayed in the upper right, accompanied by the name 岩崎良美 (Yoshimi Iwasaki), who performed the main song. The colorful graphics, with flat, solid colors and clean outlines, are characteristic of the Japanese pop aesthetic of the era.

The sleeve, protected under a transparent plastic cover, stands out with its vibrant colors: blue, yellow, black, white, and red. The background features a yellow dot pattern on white, enhancing the retro feel. Several Japanese inscriptions are visible, including the reference "7A0469 CAN" in the bottom right, typical of Japanese vinyl releases.

The record is partially visible through the sleeve, confirming the 45 rpm format suitable for singles. No label logo is clearly legible on the displayed side, but the overall presentation conforms to Japanese standards of the late 20th century for anime merchandise.

This vinyl is for those seeking an authentic item related to vintage Japanese animation, with an illustration true to the world of the manga and TV series. The entire piece, with its graphic style and inscriptions, strongly evokes the 1980s in Japan.

The sleeve shows a clear print, with no apparent major flaws or visible discoloration on this side. The plastic protective sleeve is present, contributing to the item's good preservation.
