The visible side shows a cardboard sleeve adorned with a color illustration: a determined-looking character with blond hair and headphones, against a space background with Earth and a light beam. This jacket highlights the graphic style characteristic of Japanese animation of that era, with vibrant colors and dynamic rendering of the hair and the yellow scarf flowing around the character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper left, the Japanese inscription \"地球へ…\" is clearly visible, accompanied by the English translation \"TOWARD THE TERRA\". The presence of a \"45\" logo and the reference \"CK-559\" (as well as the original price in yen) confirms that this is a single vinyl, 45 rpm format, intended for the Japanese market. The back and the condition of the record itself are not visible in the photo, but the sleeve shows some signs of use: creases, fine scratches, and wear marks on its glossy surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork of the sleeve, the aesthetic of the character, and the layout clearly evoke the universe of anime science fiction, a very popular genre in Japan in the late 1970s. The inscriptions in Japanese and English, as well as the printing style, emphasize the vintage authenticity of this record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe presentation suggests a period edition, typical of Japanese animated film merchandise, aimed at both the Japanese public and film music enthusiasts. This original edition is distinguished by its full-page illustration and the presence of bilingual texts, a strong point for collectors of Japanese anime vinyls and retro design enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side of the sleeve shows no other accessories or elements, apart from the transparent plastic protective cover. No major defects are apparent, other than the creases and signs of wear already mentioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
