COSMOS (宇宙)

Release:  5/1/1978
Rank:  8th (Oricon)
Singles:  None.
Obi:  星の化身のように宇宙空間を漂う、百恵。  (Momoe, like embodying the stars, floats through space.)
Notes:  Space themed album.  Track 5 was Momoe's first written song, under her pen name Yokosuka Kei (横須賀 恵).  Track 9 is the album version of the single 「乙女座宮」.  Track 7 has a piano part reminiscent of the single 「秋桜」, which also means "Cosmos", but the flower.
Opinion:  This is a fun, upbeat flight through the stars, just like the obi-saying promises!  Very fun and enjoyable, and I'd recommend this to a beginner Momoe fan to sample some of her work.  Love her English in Track 1, and the groovy Track 8.  Track 5 is one of my all time favorite Momoe tracks.  Love the lyrics.
