* TrendCovers: The cover art's concept of having a black and white face with the album's title in blue can also be found on Music/BruceSpringsteen's cover of ''The River'' and later on Mac [=DeMarco's=] second album (The inspiration isn't confirmed on Springsteen's case but Mac deliberately did it).

''Hosono House'' is the first album by Japanese artist Haruomi Hosono. It came out in 1973, after his band Happy End split after a short span of 3 albums.

The album is notorious for its DIY recording which took place at Hosono's home (hence the title) in Sayama. Out of inconvenience, he didn't want to go to a big city in order to book a studio and thought recording music in a domestic setting has become feasible. Session members were the band Camarel Mama, which featured Happy End's Shigeru Suzuki among other artists who would continue to collaborate with Hosono.

45 years after the album's release, Hosono rerecorded a new version of it titled ''Hochono House'' with a completely different sound and a reversed tracklist.

!!This album provides examples of:

* FaceOnTheCover: Hosono with his long hair and his singular mustache. He sported that stache ever since he was part of his first band Apryl Fools and kept it until shaving his face clean and cutting his hair as a member of Music/YellowMagicOrchestra. He rarely grew his facial hair back since.
* GratuitousEnglish: "Rock-a-bye My Baby"
* InNameOnly: "Roc-a-bye My Baby" has no relation to the nursery rhyme whatsoever.
* LongestSongGoesLast: Averted with the final track "Aiaigasa" being the shortest track of the album.
* MeaningfulName: The album's name referes to the recording environment which was Hosono's actual home (he didn't want to go to a big city in order to record in an actual studio.
* MinisculeRocking: "Aiaigasa" is the shortest track of the album, clocking at around 40 seconds.
* OneWordTitle: "Party" and "Aiaigasa".
* RearrangeTheSong: Due to Hosono's tendency to alter his songs when he plays them live, any song from this album got a country/soft rock treatment on recent concerts.
* SequelSong: "Aiaigasa" is a song that Hosono originally wrote and recorded for the band Happy End. This "Hosono House" version only plays a slightly longer cut of the guitar intro and has a voice sample announcing the Top 20.
* TrendCovers: The cover art's concept of having a black and white face with the album's title in blue can also be found on Music/BruceSpringsteen's cover of ''The River'' and later on Mac [=DeMarco's=] second album (The inspiration isn't confirmed on Springsteen's case but Mac deliberately did it).
