Books on Japanese Album Cover design?

Googling is proving fruitless, would love to know if there are any art books devoted to this subject, specifically from the eighties onward.

And if so, where I might be able to buy it/them.

Thanks in advance.

I've never seen one with cover art from different artists or musicians, but sometimes individual musicians will release art books. These don't have the specific cover art, but the photoshoot photos used for the cover art. I'm thinking that a lot of the popular artists like AKB48 and Johnny's of course have these, as well as artists like Koda Kumi or Utada Hikaru (although she hasn't done anything in awhile).

If a specific artist drew/designed the cover art and is famous in that respect, sometimes those might be featured in a small book (I have Fotogenico's covers in mind here).

But I've never seen a big compilation like I think you're thinking of (correct me if I'm assuming something different).

This do not know, but you can see a lot of photos of record jacket of 70-90's on this site.

I was particularly affected in the 80s, it is a record jacket of Eiichi's Otaki.
