SUMPTUOUS!

"This is by far the best pop work from Ryuichi...Smoochy has sounds that bring the idea of Neo Geo to beautiful fruition, more than just throwing the idea around as an artistic ploy without support. The soundscapes traverse both hemispheres, from the distant "paradise" to the more familiar park in your neighborhood. The main themes here aren't without human concern either. The pathos and inevitability of life cycles, cooling of warm hearts, the seductive yet ultimately alienating mode of electronic communication...put simply I haven't been able to put away this disc for 2 months! Next to Smoochy you might like to try his 1989 Beauty, which is a lot more understated than the melodic Smoochy. Great vocal from Ryuichi as well."

Istantaneo folgorante brivido

"Non parole ma vibrazioni di cute ed animo in questo magnifico album.La maestria di chi inalato di cultura multietnica riesce a trasdurre lo stesso al suo ascoltatore. Rara maestria direttiva. La perfetta armonia del disordine e del caos passionale."

Smoochy lays down the groove

"Smoochy is one of my favorite albums. It's very laid-back and relaxing, without being boring. You'll probably find yourself swaying along with most of the songs on this CD... my favorite track is #1, Bibo no Aozora. It's a sexy album."
