I tried to find more info on this album but it is very hard. Not sure if it was a top seller in Japan or internationally. But I'm a fan of Mariya's music! I'll be interested to hear what these english covers will sound like... although i did manage to find an upload on youtube for Hearty Party by the Pointer Sisters!! Probably not in everyone's taste, but if you are a fan and know Mariya's music you'll think they cool sound!! :-)
