.http://www.discogs.com/Various-Ongaku-70/release/2872829 “Ongaku 70 is the ultimate beginner’s guide to the Japanese psychedelia era. A incredible set of 13 tunes released between 1969 and 1978 including Osamu Kitajima, Stomu Yamash’ta’s Red Buddha Theatre, Akiko Yano, Sadistic Mika Band, Harry Hosono & The Yellow Magic Band, The Apryl Fool, Rabi Nakayama, Karuna Khyal, Kuni Kawachi & His Group, Toshiaki Tsushima, J.A. Caesar & Shirubu, Maki Asakawa and Les Rallizes Denudes. Neither group sounds nor hard rock here, only deep psychedelic rock with local instruments and native language. Be sure to hear the finest hours of Japanese 1970s music.” (InSound)

あまい (Sweet)  // 魅起法則 (MIKINORME)

I love how the singer takes quick and harsh sounding breaths after every line making the song even more melancholic.

This Eiko Ishibashi album, Imitation of Life, is so good. Parts of it remind me of what Court and Spark might have been like if, instead of being an inventive guitarist, Joni Mitchell were instead really good at playing drums. The sonic palette is warm and woody, full of bright piano, nylon-string guitars, and flutes; Ishibashi’s rhythms swing but also shift impulsively below her jaunty vocal lines.

My favorite part of her music, though, is its strange approach to song structure. The songs are often circular: they veer far away from their initial hooks, into spiraling guitar figures or glowing choral ambience before coming back to where they started. There’s a sense of discovery but it never feels formless or incomprehensible; it’s definitely worth your time.

ひかりのふるさと (The Hometown of Light) // 青葉市子 (Ichiko Aoba)

Preview of 14-sai no oshiete by Zunne from JC-WC The song is produced by Oomori Seiko and Sakurai Kenta, and Seiko also wrote the song. The song is for the movie “Joshi no jiken wa taitei, toire de okorunoda”, so I’m not sure if this duo is just a one time thing, but I’m really liking the sound of this!
