On the Street Corner is a 1980 cover album by Tatsuro Yamashita. The album features Tatsuro Yamashita's favorite oldies, especially doo-wop songs. Many of the takes recorded were initially performed purely as Yamashita's hobby, and while some of them were shown on stage, the number of songs gradually accumulated, so that's it. So it was put together as an album. Therefore, while some are close to the original copy, some are quite different from the original image. Terms such as "a cappella," "doo-wop," and "single-person multiple chorus" were first widely disseminated in Japan on this album.[1] He commented on this work, saying that he's been waiting to do an album like this when "Ride on Time" came on the first place. He stated that he wanted to do doo-wop music, and commented that the album is a kind of confirmation or holding down to close the gap between fans.[2]
Re-releases
In 1986, the album was officially reissued as "On the street corner 1 ('86 version)" with all the songs remixed and the main vocals re-recorded. In 2000, the album was digitally remastered with two bonus tracks and reissued as "On the street corner 1".
