Released in 1986 by Crystal Bird, Miki Asakura’s seventh studio album, Warm Ice "Aussie Blend", is a pleasant mid-1980s entry that blends Japanese pop sensibilities with Western-inspired production recorded in Australia. Spanning genres like city pop, synthpop, and pop-rock, the release delivers a smooth, accessible listening experience anchored by Asakura's powerful vocals—highlighted by standout tracks like the side-B opener "Killer Love"—though it plays out as an enjoyable period piece rather than a radical stylistic breakthrough.
