Timely!! is the sixth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Anri, released in 1983.

Overview

[edit]

The album was a collaborative effort with musician and producer Toshiki Kadomatsu.[1] It is considered one of Anri's best releases.[2]

The single, "Cat's Eye", served as the opening for the 1983 anime series Cat's Eye. It was one of the highest selling singles in Japan in 1983, remaining number-one for five consecutive weeks. The single was re-recorded for the album and was later covered by girl group MAX in 2010.
