The first album by Eiko Masuyama, best known for voicing Fujiko Mine in the popular anime Lupin the Third, recorded in 1980 and originally released on LP, will be reissued as a CD for the first time on December 11. The album, titled Eiko Sho: Eiko Masuyama First Album, will also be released digitally.

The album features eight tracks, including songs that enriched various anime, such as "Chanty's Song" (the ending theme of the anime The World of Hans Christian Andersen), "Yogiri no Honey," and "Love Squall" (the theme of Fujiko Mine). It also includes a solo musical performance titled "I Am a Woman" and the track "Hoshi no Ondine," featuring both singing and narration. This rare CD showcases Eiko Masuyama’s timeless voice. The album booklet will also include a faithfully restored message written by Masuyama at the time of the original release.

Masuyama was widely recognized for her roles as Fujiko Mine in Lupin the Third, Mama in The Genius Bakabon, and Honey Kisaragi in Cutie Honey.

Excerpt from the Eiko Sho: Eiko Masuyama First Album Booklet:

"Memories usually fade into the distant past, but I feel blessed that these memories remain in a tangible form. I hope the new songs and my words in this album will leave a lasting impression on the hearts of the listeners."
