If you are familiar with Tsunematsu Masatoshi it's probably due to his work with Friction, E.D.P.S or his earlier solo albums; reasonably, this might cause you to expect a collection of rather dark post-punk tracks, but you'd be very wrong.
Most of the songs on here are very upbeat punk rock or power pop. With that said, it does continuously shift its influences: you'll find bits of funk, blues, folk, country and drone throughout the duration of this CD, but they're discarded once the track has finished, not to be heard again.
1991 includes two covers of The Rolling Stones: '2000 Light Years from Home' and 'As Tears Go By' (Phew on vocals).
1987 includes two covers of The Beatles: 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away' and 'Nowhere Man'.
There used to be a video of YGtHYLA on Youtube but it has been taken down, so here's a video of a different Japanese artist covering The Beatles: Club in Shock
