Summer Nerves (サマー・ナーヴス, Samā Nāvusu) is an album which recorded a so-called "Martial arts (格闘技, kakutougi) session" between Jazz fusion musicians and Japanese rock musicians, led by Ryuichi Sakamoto at the time of the formation of Yellow Magic Orchestra.[1] "Martial arts (格闘技, kakutougi) session" of this album is regarded as a prototype of Kazumi Watanabe's "Kylyn session".[2]
Background
Although CBS Sony proposed an original plan of one Bossanova album, Sakamoto didn't accept it and conversely proposed to challenge Reggae, and this album was created as the achievement.[1]
