HOSONO HOUSE is Haruomi Hosono's first solo album. Besides Hosono, this album also features performances by the group "Caramel Mama" (featuring Hosono's fellow Happy End member Shigeru Suzuki). Hosono wanted to emulate The Band's Music from Big Pink and James Taylor's One Man Dog with this album, recording equipment technology had evolved enough for domestic recordings of good quality be feasible, and going to the center of the city to reach a recording studio was somewhat inconvenient. It was recorded for 5 hours every afternoon in a 144 square feet large bedroom in Hosono's residence in Sayama (with a 16 track mixing console in the living room).

Hosono continued to develop the tropical style of this album in his following works, Tropical Dandy and Bon Voyage co..
