Larme de crocodile by カヒミ・カリィ

Larme de Crocodile (クロコダイルの涙) (English: Crocodile Tears) is the debut studio album by Japanese musician Kahimi Karie. It was released in March 1997 by Crue-L Records in Japan, and was only available in the United States and Europe as a Japanese import. Released after a string of six EPs, Larme de Crocodile features five collaborations with the musician Momus, who had previously penned Karie's Japanese chart hit "Good Morning World", including two with music by accordionist Coba, as well as songs written by Yasuharu Konishi of Pizzicato Five and Philippe Katerine. The track "Lolitapop Dollhouse" also appears on Momus' album Ping Pong, released the same year. Larme de Crocodile contains references to many diverse musical genres, such as jazz, French chanson and electronic music. Karie explained that with the album, she "wanted to make really, really melancholic music, to be alone".
