花ざかり - Hana-zakari

Release:  12/5/1977
Rank: 7th (Oricon)
Singles:  「イミテイション・ゴールド」 B-side; 「秋桜」 A & B sides
Obi:  花一輪、あなたに届けます(A flower, I give to you.)
Notes:  The title means "Flower in full bloom".  
Opinion:  A sentimental flower themed album, including one of her biggest singles, "Cosmos".  Most of the tracks are quite sad lyrically, but this album isn't a downer at all!  Released in winter, it speaks of coming spring.  It was a great theme album for Momoe to do.
