Along with Ai-No Sedai-No Mae-Ni, which I slightly covered yesterday, I scored Shogo Hamada's 1993 album The Moment Of The Moment. I originally did this in the vain hope that it would have the 1992 single version of "悲しみは雪のように" on there, which became his biggest single ever... alas, it didn't. However, the material that is on this album is really, really good.
Granted, at this point I haven't been able to hear Hamada's albums that preceded and succeeded this one, so I can't say for certain how much this fits into his overall discography, but it definitely sounds like a poppy J-rock album circa 1993. He gets a lot of great mileage out of this sound, although I can't help but be a little bummed at the absence of the aforementioned hit single. There's a copy of this album that comes in a neat cardboard box holding the jewel case, in the vein of its predecessors Father's Son, Wasted Tears and For Whom The Bell Tolls, but this seems to be at the absence of an obi strip. The obi version was the first thing I saw and opted for, and I'm definitely satisfied with this copy of it.
The tracklisting is as follows:
1. 境界線上のアリア
2. 傷だらけの欲望
3. 最後のキス
4. 悲しみ深すぎて
6. こんな気持ちのまま
7. 星の指輪
8. 裸の王達
9. 初秋
