春告鳥 - Haru Tsuge-dori

Release:  2/1/1980
Rank:  5th (Oricon)
Singles:  「愛の嵐」 A-side; 「しなやかに歌って」 A & B Sides; 「愛染橋」 A & B Sides
Obi:  春ふたたび、鮮やかに新しい歌が生まれる  (Spring once again, a new song is brightly born)
Notes:  "Haru Tsuge-dori" can mean "Bird That Tells Of Spring".
Opinion:  A beautiful spring-themed album.  A lot of "pretty" tracks I'd like to call them, showing off Momoe's beautiful romantic voice.  Don't worry, there are upbeat songs too of course!  Three singles from 1979 are included.  I'm wondering if "sayonara no mukou gawa" is an answer song to Track 7...

1.  春爛漫 (haru ranman) [Spring In Full Bloom]
2.  イノセント -純粋- (INNOCENT -junsui-)
3.  娘たち (musume-tachi) [Maidens]
4.  抱きしめられて (dakishimerarete) [Embraced]
5.  愛染橋 (aizen-bashi) [Aizen Bridge]
