is a collaborative studio album by Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto. Released in 1979, it recorded a so-called " session" between jazz fusion musicians and J-rock musicians, and was led by Sakamoto at the time of the formation of Yellow Magic Orchestra. " session" of this album is regarded as a prototype of Kazumi Watanabe's "Kylyn session".
Background Although CBS Sony proposed an original plan of one bossa nova album, Sakamoto didn't accept it and conversely proposed a reggae album, and Summer Nerves was created as the achievement.
