AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record is a vintage Japanese edition, identifiable by its illustrated cover in the iconic style of 80s anime. The visible side features a meticulously drawn illustration, rendered in soft, watercolor tones, depicting two characters walking in a natural setting, as well as a large side portrait of a female face. The graphic aesthetic, typical of Japanese animation of the era, immediately evokes the world of shōjo manga and romantic anime.

The jacket displays clearly visible Japanese inscriptions, including the main title in red: 陽あたり良好 (Hiatari Ryōkō), a well-known anime in Japan. The artist's name, 浅倉亜季 (Yasuko Asakura), also appears on the cover. In the upper left corner are the reference "7A0713", the Canyon logo (a Japanese label), and the mention "STEREO".

The cover, protected by a transparent plastic sleeve, only shows one side of the record. No other accessories or documents are visible. The overall condition of the jacket appears good, with no tears or major marks on the visible part, but the possible presence of micro-scratches or signs of use can only be assessed by hand.

This 45 rpm record, also known as a single, is sought after for both its musical interest and the quality of its artwork typical of Japanese animation. It is an item appreciated by fans of Japanese vinyl, Japanese pop culture, and anime music.

The back, inside, and condition of the vinyl itself are not visible in the provided photo; only the front of the cover is described here in accordance with the image.
