Saravah! is the debut solo studio album by Japanese multi-instrumentalist Yukihiro Takahashi. Named after Pierre Barouh's record label of the same name, Takahashi conceived the album during his tenure on The Sadistics. The album is based on French pop music, and would later show up on early Yellow Magic Orchestra material. Besides Takahashi, this album features performances by members of The Sadistics, YMO and Tin Pan Alley. Due to the album being made before YMO members started using computers, Sakamoto got involved in arranging the music; all the keyboard parts on the album are dubbed instead of sequenced.
