Thai HIPHOP scene where attractive acts appear one after another. Among them, Juu is respected as an OG, but it is extremely difficult to catch its existence from outside Thailand. Singing in Thai, there is no physical, OMK (One Mekong) traces the trace that existed only on Youtube and succeeded in contact. In 2017, he was finally invited to perform his first live concert in Japan, revealing his unusual musicality and character. The groove of the hi-hat that is too thick and finely carved is that of TRAP or later, but the flow that expands and contracts freely, the linguistic sense that mixes English, Thai, Japanese, Koshu valve, and the rich Thai music classic All of them (and their funny personalities) showed that they were in a completely different dimension from the world-famous TRAP copycats.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is Juu's first full-length album, which was completed in about two years after the talents and OMK members collaborated with each other and started co-production with the lead of Stillichimiya \/ OMK's Young-G. Most of the tracks are in Young-G's hands, and the sound is also full of ambitions that reflect OMK's attitude. Thai instruments such as chin, cowbell, cane and pin are used everywhere, but never used for exotic seasoning. In order to inject the original beats and grooves in Thailand, they are inevitably incorporated. And what oozes out in the mellow song is the flow (singing heart) that is similar to Luk Thung and Japanese enka. They create an indescribable \"new song feeling\" through Juu's background HIPHOP and reggae.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs the title \"New Luk Thung\" shows, this work is a Pattaner (* 2) of the dying Thai song genre Luk Thung (* 1) with cutting-edge HIPHOP. Like HIPHOP, this music called Luk Thung cites (samples) and revives past classical music many times. And like HIPHOP, the lyrics (lyrics) are also very important music. The feature of this work is that the manners common to Luk Thung and HIPHOP have been completely digested without contradiction. The title of this work comes from Juu telling Young-G that \"this is New Luk Thung\" in the process of production, but this is an inevitable name. This work is both \"latest HIP HOP\" and \"latest Luk Thung\".

Thai HIPHOP scene where attractive acts appear one after another. Among them, Juu is respected as an OG, but it is extremely difficult to catch its existence from outside Thailand. Singing in Thai, there is no physical, OMK (One Mekong) traces the trace that existed only on Youtube and succeeded in contact. In 2017, he was finally invited to perform his first live concert in Japan, revealing his unusual musicality and character. The groove of the hi-hat that is too thick and finely carved is that of TRAP or later, but the flow that expands and contracts freely, the linguistic sense that mixes English, Thai, Japanese, Koshu valve, and the rich Thai music classic All of them (and their funny personalities) showed that they were in a completely different dimension from the world-famous TRAP copycats.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is Juu's first full-length album, which was completed in about two years after the talents and OMK members collaborated with each other and started co-production with the lead of Stillichimiya \/ OMK's Young-G. Most of the tracks are in Young-G's hands, and the sound is also full of ambitions that reflect OMK's attitude. Thai instruments such as chin, cowbell, cane and pin are used everywhere, but never used for exotic seasoning. In order to inject the original beats and grooves in Thailand, they are inevitably incorporated. And what oozes out in the mellow song is the flow (singing heart) that is similar to Luk Thung and Japanese enka. They create an indescribable \"new song feeling\" through Juu's background HIPHOP and reggae.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs the title \"New Luk Thung\" shows, this work is a Pattaner (* 2) of the dying Thai song genre Luk Thung (* 1) with cutting-edge HIPHOP. Like HIPHOP, this music called Luk Thung cites (samples) and revives past classical music many times. And like HIPHOP, the lyrics (lyrics) are also very important music. The feature of this work is that the manners common to Luk Thung and HIPHOP have been completely digested without contradiction. The title of this work comes from Juu telling Young-G that \"this is New Luk Thung\" in the process of production, but this is an inevitable name. This work is both \"latest HIP HOP\" and \"latest Luk Thung\".

Student protests and a rising youth culture gave way to the angura (short for \u0026ldquo;underground) movement that thrived on subverting traditions of the post-war years. Rejection of the Beatlemania-inspired Group Sounds and the squeaky clean College Folk movements led the rise of what came to be known in Japan as \u0026ldquo;New Music,\u0026rdquo; where authenticity mattered more than replicating the sounds of their idols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the most influential figures in Japanese pop music emerged from this vital period, yet very little of their work has ever been released or heard outside of Japan, until now. Light In The Attic is thrilled to present Even a Tree Can Shed Tears, the inaugural release in the label\u0026rsquo;s Japan Archival Series. This is the first-ever, fully licensed collection of essential Japanese folk and rock songs from the peak years of the angura movement to reach Western audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn mid-to-late 1960s Tokyo, young musicians and college students were drawn to Shibuya\u0026rsquo;s Dogenzaka district for the jazz and rock kissas, or cafes, that dotted its winding hilly streets. Some of these spaces doubled as performance venues, providing a stage for local regulars like Hachimitsu Pie with their The Band-like ragged Americana, Tetsuo Saito with his spacey philosophical folk, and the influential Happy End, who successfully married the unique cadences of the Japanese language to the rhythms of the American West Coast.

An intense, multilayered continuation of earlier collaborations (Atsuko was featured on Midori's debut LP back in 2006), the foundation for this new collaborative album was laid when they shared stages in Berlin (Ausland) and Japan in 2019. Working remotely at first, they later recorded parts of the album in Nara's snoihouse (using omnidirectional polyhedral speakers). \"As we rallied back and forth with our recordings in the process of creating this album, unanticipated fluctuations and irregularities emerged, coming together into a kind of music with a unique resilience and buoyancy that cannot be confined to existing molds. It was as though we had built a Water Ladder to bridge the gap between us,\" explains prolific composer and viola player Atsuko Hatano, who's been busy recording solo and with colleagues such as Jim O'Rourke, Eiko Ishibashi, Mocky, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Takeo Toyama, and Anzu Suhara (Asa-chang and Junrei). Kyoto-born, Berlin-based Midori Hirano, who's also been releasing music under her MimiCof moniker, adds multiple instruments to the ever-changing sonic landscapes of Water Ladder -- an album defined by suspenseful and seemingly suspended compositions that often feel like floating in midair, a sensation the musicians compare to \"that distinctive feeling you get from riding a high-speed elevator, where you can no longer tell whether you're going up or down.\" Devoid of birdsong, the late summer air is nevertheless full of buzzing, whirring, hissing sounds on foreboding album opener \"Summer Noise,\" a cinematic intro with slow-moving piano chords and an ominous build-up over the course of its sprawling eight minutes. Elsewhere, sudden bursts of viola cut through nighttime peace (\"Nocturnal Awakening\"), followed by \"Cotton Sphere\" -- which makes the sensation of floating in midair complete: harmonies and melodies rise and form to fall apart again. Whereas the title track truly explodes half-way in, the final \"Cascade\" brings closure to the electro-acoustic six-track collection: the floating continues. \"Water cannot retain its form on its own, and can take any shape as effected by external forces. Its movements cannot be captured by eyesight alone: A body of water that appears to be crashing down into a deep, bottomless waterfall could actually be rising up very slowly into midair,\" says Atsuko. \"This is an invitation for you to cross the ever-transforming Water Ladder built between Midori and myself.\"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 340px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=533500310\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midorih.bandcamp.com\/album\/water-ladder\"\u003eWater Ladder by Atsuko Hatano \u0026amp; Midori Hirano\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Alien Transistor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42461318283523,"sku":"N076LP","price":3463.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/products\/N076LP.jpg?v=1644697081"},{"product_id":"志人-sibitt-心眼銀河-殻桶-instrumental-cd","title":"志人 sibitt - 心眼銀河　殻桶　Instrumental (CD)","description":"This is a great masterpiece that further updates the boundaries of what can only be described as his unique style.

Compiled by long-time friends of the label, Eiji Taniguchi and Norio Sato, Heisei No Oto delves into a world of music released almost exclusively on CD and brings together a fascinating selection of discoveries from a little known and overlooked part of Japan’s musical history.  The last ten or so years have seen a global wave of interest in Japanese music encompassing ambient, jazz, new wave and pop records from the 1980s, some of which is increasingly considered the most innovative and visionary music of that time. Although some music from this period, in the form of ‘City Pop’ or ‘rare groove’ records, had been coveted by collectors and DJs for a number of years, most Japanese music from the time was little known outside and often even within Japan.  Sometime around the mid 2000s, two Osaka record store owners, Eiji Taniguchi of Revelation Time and Norio Sato of Rare Groove, along with a handful of deep Japanese diggers such as Chee Shimizu of Organic Music records in Tokyo, began to explore beyond the typical ‘grooves’ or ‘breaks’. Much like their counterparts in Europe and the US, they began delving into home-grown ambient, jazz, new wave and pop records, discovering visionary music, often driven by synthesizers or drum computers, that broke beyond the typical confines of their genres.  Spending tireless hours in local record stores and embarking on digging trips across the country, Eiji Taniguchi and Norio Sato, much like Chee Shimizu, have been at the forefront of unearthing and introducing many of the very Japanese records now loved and sought after around the world. Yet as YouTube algorithms and vinyl reissues would transport such music into the global consciousness and demand and therefore scarcity intensified for such records, so Eiji and Norio have recently begun to turn their attention to CDs.  The title of the compilation Heisei No Oto refers to the sound of the Heisei era, which began in 1989 and corresponds to the reign of Emperor Akihito until his abdication in 2019. Marking the culmination of one of the most rapid economic growths in Japanese history, 1989 also coincided with the music industry’s final shift away from vinyl in favour of CDs. And, although compact discs were first introduced seven years earlier it wasn’t until late into the ‘80s that, beyond dance music labels, CDs became the exclusive format for major and independent labels in Japan and throughout the world.  This however didn’t signal the end of the innovation in Japan. Many of those same musicians who have become known for their work in the ‘80s would continue to produce outstanding music well into the mid ‘90s, as greater innovation and advances in musical equipment allowed Japanese musicians and producers to refine and explore new sounds. While musicians such as the seminal Haruomi Hosono, whose productions feature on a number of tracks, would continue to push the boundaries of these new technologies, these technological advances also meant less established musicians were able to make use of increasingly affordable but state-of-the-art equipment.  Including music by Haruomi Hosono as well as Yasuaki Shimizu, Toshifumi Hinata and Ichiko Hashimoto who have become known and loved around the world in recent years, Hesei No Oto also features Japanese pop star Yosui Inoue, producers Jun Sato and Keisuke Kikuchi in aaddition to less established artists from the contemporary, jazz, new wave, pop and dance music scenes. Bringing together a selection of tracks that seem to define these specific genres and in fact move fluidly between a number of them, the music on the compilation is again underscored by experimentations with synthesizers and drum computers though with something of a gentle Pop sensibility. Reimagined here then under the encompassing term ‘Left-field Pop’, this is an exciting chapter in Japanese musical history that has only just begun to be fully explored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/1208543476\u0026amp;color=%239a8d5e\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_artwork=false\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Music From Memory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526948360451,"sku":"MFM053LP","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/products\/a3833468200_10_f90b8da0-26da-42a1-9a64-0bf38264b6b1.jpg?v=1646112422"},{"product_id":"after-dinner-1982-85-lp","title":"After Dinner - 1982-85 (LP)","description":"After Dinner from Japan, embraced new wave, traditional Japanese music, free contemporary and avant-garde rock.

The record opens with the same melody as \"Interlude\" in a piece titled \"I want to go to the side where you can touch...\" and in contrast to the extreme sounds found on \"NO\", this new album whispers into the listener's ear with a trembling hazy sound meant to awaken sensation. \n\nOn all of \"W\" Wata carries the lead vocal duties. In general the styles on the album range from noise to new age, as is typical with one of our generation's most dynamic and adventurous bands, but there is a thread of melodic deliberation through each song that successfully accomplishes the band's goal of eliciting deep sensation. Be it through epic sludgey riffs, angelic vocal reverberations or the seduction of their off-kilter percussion, Boris will have you fully under their spell. This languid and liquifying sound is perfectly represented in the beautiful Kotao Tomozawa cover art and in suGar yoshinaga's sound production. \n\n\"NO\" and \"W\" weave together to form NOW, a duo of releases that respond to one another. In following their hardest album with this sensuous thundering masterpiece they are creating a continuous circle of harshness and healing, one that seems more relevant now than ever and shows the band operating at an apex of their musical career. \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x-LM2XaU1LE\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer;

established the taiko drumming to a global audience and intensively toured around the globe between 1975 and 1981 - the year the group split.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eshortly after, hayashi and some like-minded spirits formed kodo, a new drum troupe with hayashi as lead drummer. after their first live performances he left the ensemble again in order to launch his solo career, whose first output marked \u0026ldquo;kaze no shisha\u0026rdquo;, released in 1983 on the japanese subsidiary of the us record company victor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ethe album\u0026rsquo;s six compositions feature hayashi on taiko drum and other percussion, famed japanese composer midori takada on marimba, cymbal and bells, shuichi chino on synthesizer, chi soungja on the traditional korean zither gayageum and the korean janggu drum as well as the singers kamur and tenko, also known as the honeymoons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eall songs have been written by eitetsu hayashi and been recorded between july and august 1983 at sunrise studio and victor aoyama studio in tokyo. it must have been an intensive time. a time, in which hayashi transformed the drumbeat of his heart into a variety sounds, melodies and rhythms, without losing the melancholic, yet demanding kaito air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ethe record\u0026rsquo;s a-side starts rough and traditional with \u0026ldquo;kintonun\u0026rdquo;, a tune in which hayashi bangs the taiko stormy while charmingly dancing with chi soungja\u0026rsquo;s korean janggu drum performance. a propulsive start that slides into \u0026ldquo;cosmos\u0026rdquo; \u0026ndash; a slow glooming melancholic trance-folk-spiritual tranquilizer, featuring hayashi playing the piano and koto, while chi soungja weeps ghostly on his gayageum zither.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ea perfectly built folk drama, deeply charged with musical infinity. its followed by \u0026ldquo;kalavinka\u0026rdquo;, an industrial leaning composition, that lifts off with metal tones and meditative chanting, only to melt into a mesmerizing melodic marimba crescendo, played by midori takada. again, the myths of ancient japanese music kisses modern minimal realms and nothing seems to refer to the pure percussive genre hayashi is famed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ethe b-side opener \u0026ldquo;kaze no shisha\u0026rdquo; presents a slow growing performance by hayashi on the japanese zither koto. his nervous play transforms into a synth drone played by shuichi chino, that slowly makes space for hayashi\u0026rsquo;s tribal taiko drumming that again disappears in another wave of koto string notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ethe follow up \u0026ldquo;bakuon\u0026rdquo; launches with a supersonic transport sound and operatic singing by the honeymoons, that amalgamates with hayashi\u0026rsquo;s feverish performance on his main instrument, the taiko. every now and then strange synth sounds and disparate voices open the short composition, that abruptly ends after 2 minutes and 30 seconds. the final of \u0026ldquo;kaze no shisha\u0026rdquo; is reconciliatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eon \u0026ldquo;seiten\u0026rdquo; hayashi creates a conversation between the taiko and mokugyo, also known as the buddhist wooden fish. they turn into some kind of call and response talk, always leaving enough space between the rhythms and tones to create a deeply spiritual psychic sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ean utterly captivating, keen to experiment album, full of japanese music mysticism, surprising non-linear shock-waves, repetitive minimal structures and frenziedly drumming, who in interaction introduce a less popular side of one of japan\u0026rsquo;s most prolific drum poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2kQQxiNeVcY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

His unmistakable, powerfully evocative voice and surrealistic poetry reveal a gritty, transgressive life on the margins shot through with evocations of sex and violence, religion and romance. Released in 1991, I¡Çm the Only One Around was Mikami's first album with Tokyo's legendary P.S.F. Records and heralded an artistic renaissance. It marked the beginning of an incredibly productive and wildly creative era for Mikami that extends to the present day. This opening salvo presents the essential core of Mikami¡Çs music; With nothing but his voice and a stripped down electric guitar the album is a powerful, effortlessly emotional statement filled with moments of both brutal passion and gentle revelation. It is unrestrained, direct, brutally honest. It embodies Mikami¡Çs philosophy: ¡ÈIf you¡Çre going to make music, stake your life on it - it¡Çs worth it. Making music is an intensely human act.¡É In the newly translated notes to the album, Hiroyuki Itsuki, one of Japan¡Çs most renowned writers perhaps put it best: ¡ÈWhat erupts here is all the fury and grief of Jōmon Man (the prehistoric people of the Japanese archipelago), lobbed into the middle of a 1990s city. Kan Mikami is unchanging, yet definitely in motion. He advances not forwards, but backwards. Not a retreat, rather he consciously progresses backwards. At the final destination for his full-steam astern poésie lies a massive, gaping black hole, exuding a dazzling, black light. This is the image evoked by the world of Kan Mikami that you can hear on this album.¡É Mikami would go on to release 15 solo albums with P.S.F. as well as numerous collaborative efforts with other giants of the Japanese underground including Motoharu Yoshizawa, Masayoshi Urabe and Keiji Haino, with whom, along with Toshiaki Ishizuka he formed the group Vajra. Black Editions is honored to present the first ever vinyl edition of Kan Mikami¡Çs ¡ÈI¡Çm the Only One Around¡É featuring lyrics translated by Drew Stroud and newly translated notes by Alan Cummings. Remastered and cut to vinyl at Elysian Masters Los Angeles, pressed by RTI, packaged in heavy Stoughton tip-on jackets with insert featuring textured paper, gold foil stamping and metallic inks.\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/309908249\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;show_artwork=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Black Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42617666076931,"sku":"BE-007\/13","price":3578.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/products\/a0586850883_10_44bf8b03-fa95-4995-a61a-55650f64f53f.jpg?v=1648193287"}],"url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/collections\/japanese.oembed?page=41","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
