Artist: 益田幹夫 (Mikio Masuda) Album: Chi Chi Release: 1982 (Japan) Genre: Jazz / Jazz-fusion / Jazz-funk Label: Invitation (original Japanese press) Format: LP / later CD reissues (including a remastered UHQCD) Structural Notes: Ensemble jazz-fusion with funk rhythms and melodic compositions

Chi Chi is a 1982 jazz-fusion album by pianist and keyboardist Mikio Masuda, featuring ten ensemble pieces that combine melodic improvisation with groove-oriented funk and jazz-fusion textures. Across tracks such as “Song Of Fantasy,” “Mozambique,” and “Walkin’ In The City,” the record reflects the early-’80s Japanese fusion scene’s mix of complex arrangement and rhythmic accessibility, showcasing Masuda’s dual roles as composer and bandleader in a period where domestic jazz was increasingly blending global fusion influences.
