"Mignonne" is Taeko Ohnuki's third album, following Sunshower, released as a newcomer to label RCA, on 21st September 1978. Arranged by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Juzo Seo, her long time collaborators from Tin Pan Alley continued to collaborate with her for this album, featuring musicians such as Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki, and Yukihiro Takahashi. The sound is similar to her previous albums, with rich horns and strings arranged on top of Tin Pan Alley’s soulful rhythmic sections. The tracks have seen a resurgence of late, some of which being covered by contemporary Japanese artists ( “Yoko Gao”, “Umi to Shonen” by Akiko Yano, “Totsuzen no Okurimono” by Mariya Takeuchi).
