Vanity Records is a lable owned by Mr. Yuzuru Agi, a chief editor of "Rock Magazine" who was considered to be a person who named Techno Pop. It was founded in Spring '78 and it's positioned as the first Japanese minor label. "MODERN MUSIC", an extra editionn of Rock Magazine in '79 had the following as the operating priniciples of Vanity Records in future. "We will produce records pursuing 1). Electronics Music, 2). "Music as Furniture" series (Modernistic Music), 3). Invation to Kayo-kyoku, 4). Music with experimental new vision (Punk., New Wave, Free Music, Modernistic Music, etc.)." The point #3 may be surprising, but it makes sense considering that Mr. Agi used to be in the world of Kayo-kyoku (he debuted with "Kougen No Bojou" in '67, and had the hit movie theme song "Ore Niwa Tenshi No Kimi Datta"). Unfortunately, it has never been realized, but it's so exciting to just think about the singer who debuts with Techno Kayo (just my imagination) on Vanity Records. In the magazine "QUICK JAPAN" vol. 33, "Rock Magazine, a cult magazine from Kansai, & Yuzuru Agi" as a part of Japanese Rock Magazine Chronicle was written by Mr. Akira Shinohara (text) and Mr. Satoru Higashiseto (discography). It was partially used as reference.
