Atsuko Nakazawa was (is?) a jpop/enka singer who made two albums in the 70s with this being her first. I don't know much about her - nobody does from what I can tell from light google research but that shouldn't matter too much anyway.
The album itself, as one would expect of jpop, is a fairly safe trek through loveable melodies and vocal harmonies with appropriate strings and 70s brass sections. What it lacks in creativity it compensates in how good Atsukos vocals are. I would say they remind me of Meiko Kaji a bit but Atsukos voice is much softer, more melancholic than angry and she doesn't get overly dramatic or expressive. There's a good balance here of happy and songs, most of them are pretty laid back tho so this whole thing is a very comfy experience.
