While Yamashita gets sole music credit, the first six songs—which would appear to be the A side of an original vinyl and/or cassette release—also name Alan O'Day as a co-writer.

Since they're all vocal numbers, perhaps O'Day wrote the lyrics. The music is very much in various '80s pop and rock styles. They have nice melodies and lush production. I guess a lot of people would find it cheesy but I like it.

The second half-dozen songs—B side, I guess—is all covers with the exception of a concluding Yamashita song, "I Love You—Part 1". (Part 2 was the last song on the first side.)

The covers, which are done very straight, are all pretty well known songs and mostly from The Beach Boys' catalog: "Girls on the Beach", "Please Let Me Wonder", "Darlin'" and "Guess I'm Dumb".

It's an agreeable record and I wouldn't mind seeing the movie.
