I remixed this based on a non-stop Tatsuro Yamashita mix that I originally ​made for my own driving cassette tape years ago.

COME ON!

The analog LP COME ALONG was originally produced for in-​store play at record shops as a promotional tool. It wasn’t an idea ​conceived by Tatsuro Yamashita himself but rather by the ​Japanese music division staff at RVC at the time.

The album featured a selection of tracks from Circus Town ​(1976), Spacy (1977), and Go Ahead! (1978), along with the ​newly released single "Ai wo Egaita - LET'S KISS THE SUN -". ​Side A was structured as 'Dancing Side' in the style of a disco DJ ​set, while Side B recreated the vibe of Hawaii’s KIKI radio station, ​titled 'KIKI Station Side'.

Between tracks, DJ segments were seamlessly woven into the ​mix, creating a non-stop flow. The DJ for the album was Katsuya ​Kobayashi, and Mariya Takeuchi—who later became Yamashita’s ​wife—also contributed to the project, thanks to her fluency in ​English.

At the time, COME ALONG was only available on cassette, and I ​was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy. I listened to it ​countless times.

Years later, when I became a DJ myself, I felt the urge to create ​my own version of COME ALONG, selecting the tracks myself ​and recording a non-stop mix onto cassette. It became my go-to ​soundtrack for driving.

This new mix is a fresh reinterpretation, inspired by that original ​tape from those days.

I hope you enjoy it!
