---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magical is the third edition in a series of compilation albums by singer-songwriter Junko Ohashi titled "Junko Ohashi's World" (大橋純子の世界, Junko Ohashi no Sekai). The compilation features a few singles, some newly recorded songs, and songs selected from the albums Tea For Tears, 黄昏 (Tasogare) ~ Postcard Fantasy, and Point Zero. Track 1 is a duet with singer-songwriter and actor Yoshinori Monta (もんたよしのり), of the group Monta & Brothers.

The compilation was only released on vinyl and cassette and never on CD, thereby making it quite elusive for collectors since certain copies go for a lot of money. Luckily, reconstructions of the compilation have been made by fans due to to all of the tracks being available across various CD releases. One particular song, "Telephone Number," is considered as a hit within the city pop community, alongside Mariya Takeuchi (竹内まりや)'s "Plastic Love."

NOTE: This upload is the highest quality version available, since it replaces one upload ripped in VBR and had an incorrect version of one track. This also replaces a vinyl rip which was affected by wow and flutter.

君のSTATION (pronounced Kimi-no-Station, or "Your Station") is the showcase for music of the "city pop" genre. Unlike other channels, however, relatively obscure albums, albums currently existing in low quality, and albums that haven't been uploaded in full, will be seen here on this channel.
