Tropical Dandy is Haruomi Hosono's second solo album.

This album continues the tropical style of Hosono House (which would continue later on with Bon Voyage co. and Paraiso) and also features performances from "Caramel Mama" (who had, by this point, changed their name to "Tin Pan Alley").

[1][2][3] All tracks are written by Haruomi Hosono, except where noted.The album's cover is a parody of the sailor-themed packaging of Player's Navy Cut cigarettes, similar to the 1969 Procol Harum album, A Salty Dog.

The quotation marks around Hosono's surname is in reference to the "medium" version of the cigarette.

The cover also portrays a ship resembling the RMS Titanic, which Hosono's grandfather Masabumi infamously escaped the sinking of on her maiden voyage.
