Fragile is the seventh leader album by the Japanese pianist Junko Onishi, released on September 23, 1998, in Japan.

"[4] A reviewer for Billboard stated that, on the album, Onishi "forgoes tradition and lets the fun fly."

"[5] The Australian Financial Review's Shane Nichols called the music "an interesting dip into the past," and remarked: "It's no secret that Onishi swings; this album proves she rocks too.

"[6] A writer for the Orlando Weekly described the album as "a jam-intensive adventure," noting that Onishi "has made a startling leap from sublime acoustic post-bop to sonic terrain largely associated with '70s fusion and contemporary groove-jazz.

"[8] Another AAJ reviewer commented: "Fragile is ironically quite pliable and coarse at times, wielding an oft-unwieldy arsenal of moods and sounds which occasionally (and admittedly) lose their sense of form and function.
