Lion & Pelican is the tenth studio album recorded and produced by a Japanese singer-songwriter Yōsui Inoue, released in December 1982.
Contents
The album has been well known for a song "Riverside Hotel", which was originally released as a single before the album came out. It became a smash hit in later years, because the song was featured as a theme song for the drama Love Story in New York aired on Fuji TV in 1988.
Lion & Pelican also includes Inoue's own rendition of "Senaka Made 45-fun" and "Chinese Food", the songs that he previously wrote for Kenji Sawada's album Mis Cast released in 1982. The album itself gained moderate commercial success, selling in excess of 150,000 copies although it couldn't reach the top-ten on the charts.
