The album has been well known for a song "Riverside Hotel", which was originally released as a single before the album came out. It became a smash hit in later years, because the song was featured as a theme song for the drama Love Story in New York aired on Fuji TV in 1988.
Lion & Pelican also includes Inoue's own rendition of "Senaka Made 45-fun" and "Chinese Food", the songs that he previously wrote for Kenji Sawada's album Mis Cast released in 1982.[1] The album itself gained moderate commercial success, selling in excess of 150,000 copies although it couldn't reach the top-ten on the charts.
