Love Will Make a Better You, the only album credited to Love Live Life + One, is a perfect exemplar of the Japanese psych super-session scene. The most successful album by impresario Ikuzo Orita (responsible for Foodbrain and Shiniki Chen), the disc paired a nimble crew of improv freaks (like guitarist Kimio Mizutani) with mainstream pop star Akira Fuse and his band, along with a songbook by saxophonist Kei Ichihara. The resultant album is rich in Sly Stone-influenced funk and wild guitar solos from Mizutani and Takao Naoi. Though Fuse wasn't the only mainstream star to dabble in the avant-garde - normally he covered the Carpenters and other lite American fare - his star presence insured that the album never flew too far into self-indulgence. The disc's second side, in fact, contains four of the more superbly arranged tunes in the Japanese psych canon, containing sweet choruses, pumping post-McCartney bass, shredding guitar, and exhilarating breaks (especially the horns on the disc-closing "Facts About It All"). In under four and a half minutes, the album's title track is simultaneously hook-filled and sonically overwhelming, both freewheeling and utterly controlled. The nine-minute "Shadows of the Mind" is an ESL mini-epic rendered as orchestral free jazz that bursts into machine gun John Barry-isms. Even Mizutani and Naoi's guitar-offs are fit perfectly into the bigger tapestry (which, in turn, dissolves into strings before phase-shifting back into the verse). The focus is especially present on the disc's requisite 17-minute jam, the side one-filling "The Question Mark," which builds patiently from fuzz miasma to a shrieking pulse without ever showing its hand.
