Strange Eye Ballad

Jun Togawa named this song after two books: 1928's L'Histoire de l'Œil (眼球譚) by Georges Bataille, and 1926/'27's Strange Tale of Panorama Island (パノラマ島奇談) by Edogawa Ranpo.

Originally released as a studio recording on the Jun Togawa Unit's sole album, 1985's Far Eastern Comfort Songs (極東慰安唱歌). Besides the two group tracks made for the Yen Memorial Album (¥EN卒業記念アルバム), that was her sole collaboration with label co-founder Yukihiro Takahashi, who plays drums on that version. Togawa believes he participated at the request of Unit member Yoshifumi Iio (飯尾 芳史), who had engineered multiple albums of his, both solo and with Yellow Magic Orchestra. Susumu Hirasawa made a bold techno rearrangement for The Dying Year of the Showa Era Tour of early 1990, where he and his solo backing band keyboardists (Hikaru Kotobuki and Kitune Akimoto) accompanied Togawa.
