Pepperland (album)

Pepperland (ペパーランド, Pepārando) is the seventh studio album by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka, released on November 18, 1992 by Warner Music Japan. Named after a small music hall (itself named after the orchestral piece from Yellow Submarine) in Kumamoto where Moritaka started playing music, the album marked a shift in musical direction in her career, as she became more engaged in playing musical instruments such as drums, rhythm guitar, bass, and piano. It also has a more stripped-down sound in comparison to Moritaka's previous albums. Pepperland is the only studio album in Moritaka's catalog to not have any singles.[1][2]
