# Beyond...

Beyond... (ビヨンド) is the debut album by Japanese singer Kiyotaka Sugiyama released on July 2, 1986 by VAP. The album charted at No. 1 on the Oricon charts.

## Background

Sugiyama had started his solo career after the disbandment of the band Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe, having a charted a single with the song "Sayonara no Ocean" on May 28. The sound was different than what Sugiyama had done before, creating a cool, up-tempo sound instead of the refreshing, pop, windy summer from his Omega Tribe days.

Masanori Sasaji, who was introduced to Sugiyama during the production of his previous album, First Finale, was hired as the arranger for the album.
