It was originally released by the now-defunct label, Yupiteru Records in 1978. Since then, it has been reissued a few times in Japan but recently, along with a surge of worldwide interest in old Japanese music, ‘Push’ has been gaining a cult status among foreign music heads, with the price for an original pressing skyrocketing in the second hand record market. This reissue of ‘Push’ will be the first time ever that this album will be officially released worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong before R\u0026amp;B music went onto enjoy mainstream success in Japan, a soul music and disco loving lady, Noriko Miyamoto who started her music career working as a dancer at the legendary Tokyo disco, ‘Mugen’, was inspired by Tina Turner’s performance there and decided to became a soul singer. It was at a time in the early 1970s when there were only a handful of female songstresses who sang soulfully in Japan. In 1977, Miyamoto was scouted by Isao Suzuki to join his band, Soul Family and subsequently, with their backing, he produced Push, an album that kickstarted her career. It is an album that exquisitely combines her jazzy and soulful vocals with Suzuki’s acoustic bass and precocious playing from his youthful and vibrant group at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with Sadao Watanabe, Terumasa Hino, Masabumi Kikuchi and George Otsuka, bassist, cellist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, producer and band leader, Isao Suzuki was considered to be one of the most influential figures in Japanese jazz history. Beloved by many in the Japanese jazz scene as “Oma-san”- Suzuki was renowned for developing young talent. Noriko was one of his prodigies, and so ‘Push’ became a vehicle to showcase her and his band as well, which featured notably future renowned players such as keyboardist, Masanori Sasaji, who went on to back Yasuaki Shimizu and guitarist, Kazumasa Akiyama, who played with many major Japanese Jazz musicians. According to Noriko, these young musicians in the group helped Suzuki create a brand new sound, mixing orthodox jazz with the crossover \/ fusion sound that was popular at the time, coming together supremely on ‘Push’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ‘Push’, Suzuki focused on Noriko’s unique prowess of singing songs in English, somewhat a rarity in the Japanese music scene at the time. She sang two jazz standards, ‘Everything I Have Is Yours’ and ‘Stella By Starlight’ on the album. Noriko also wrote English lyrics for two original compositions of Suzuki’s, an instrumental piece, ‘Cadillac Woman’, and ‘My Life’, a song that he composed for Kimiko Kasai, who’d originally sung it in Japanese on her 1977 album, ’Tokyo Special’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoriko fulfilled her long-held dream of becoming a soul singer after she moved to the US in 1990 and subsequently joined a number of prestigious outfits, such as Eddie Murphy’s band, Graham Central Station, the Brothers Johnson and Side Effect, but ‘Push’ is the album that paved the way for her career and hopefully, with this first time ever, worldwide reissue, it will attract more listeners. Sadly the producer of this album, Isao Suzuki sadly passed away recently at the age of 89. It is unfortunate that he was not able to see the reissue of this special album that he produced for Noriko Miyamoto. - \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bbemusic.com\/product\/noriko-miyamoto-push\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5CXBCsYUVcbeFHisHsBfnA?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9331%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9331%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBBE – BBE695ALP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJ Jazz Masterclass Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x Vinyl, LP, 45 RPM, Reissue, Stereo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12th August 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz, Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz-Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41961812033694,"sku":"695A","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/aMAZ.jpg?v=1660634626"},{"product_id":"ryo-kawasaki-juice","title":"Ryo Kawasaki – Juice","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— The Analog Vault \/\/ Essential Listening —\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one peels back the layers of the late, great Japanese guitarist Ryo Kawasaki’s exceptional solo record, Juice, one will find seven of the freshest tracks on this fifth outing by Kawaski.

Recorded in New York, and originally released in 1976, 'Juice' presents Ryo at the height of his powers. Born in Japan in 1947, Ryo had a long and stellar career recording and releasing music up until his passing on 13 April 2020, in Tallinn, Estonia. Ryo is one of the pioneers of the jazz fusion genre, with the Japanese jazz fusion \/ funk sound becoming extremely influential within the 80s UK club scene and amongst its DJs. His track 'Trinkets \u0026amp; Things' became a bonafide underground classic. In the US he worked with some of the greats of jazz, such as Elvin Jones, Chico Hamilton and Bobbi Humphrey, to name but a few. A forward-thinking and ever-evolving musician, Ryo collaborated with the Roland Corporation and Korg on the 'guitar synthesizer' and later wrote music software for computers. Later in life he relocated to Estonia and worked there, as well as Finland, Sweden, and the Baltic states. 'Juice' has become a much-loved album for crate diggers and jazz-funk enthusiasts, with its tracks frequently being sampled and re-imagined in hip-hop. The smokey, beat-down, spiritual funk jam 'Bamboo Child' has been flipped by Diamond D, Puff Daddy, and Kool G Rap. The album was released in 1976 on RCA Records and features the musicians' drummer Jimmy Young, rhythm guitarist Hugh McCracken, and bassist Stu Woods amongst other luminaries. A solid album throughout that incorporates a heavy dose of tripped-out synths alongside the emerging disco sound of the time. Tracks such as the opener ‘Raisins’, with its drum beat intro and bubbling bass-line, rivals The Headhunters at their finest.- \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mrbongo.bandcamp.com\/album\/juice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMr Bongo | Bandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kVYgvrvL4k8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 134.39px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9331%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9331%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eMr Bongo – MRBLP252\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eVinyl, Album, Reissue, LP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eUK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e5th Aug 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003eFusion, Jazz-Funk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41971015843998,"sku":"7119691284316","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Ryo-Kawasaki.jpg?v=1660981766"},{"product_id":"shigeo-sekito-special-sound-series-vol-1","title":"Shigeo Sekito - Special Sound Series Vol. 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissue, originally released in 1975. \"Considered by many one of the most gifted and outstanding players in the Electone community thanks to his fresh, energetic, rhythmic and sometimes humorous style of playing, from 1975 to 1977 Shigeo Sekitō released a four-LP album set titled Special Sound Series for the iconic Nippon Columbia.

He approaches the craft of pop music with utmost seriousness; recently, he even destroyed all his demos, ensuring that no one would release any of his half-baked ideas posthumously. It’s hard to complain, though, when he’s still releasing songs like “Cheer Up! The Summer,” suffused in the breezy atmospheres and unbridled joy of his best work. “We can fly away,” he sings, as string arrangements and vocal harmonies lift higher.

It is not known if the cover of this album contributed to its lack of success when it was released, but it is almost impossible today to find an original pressing of this record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qA5USyzAHco\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width: 39.9949%; height: 179.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eUnion Records (3) – TEA-17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 44.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 44.8px;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 44.8px;\"\u003eProject Re:Vinyl, Deep Jazz Reality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Clear\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e10 Aug 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 22.6568%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.2781%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eModal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Union Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42276731453598,"sku":"TEA-17AX","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/R-24145145-1666846195-7114.jpg?v=1669875039"},{"product_id":"hiromasa-suzuki-rock-joint-biwa-kumikyoku-fulukotofumi-black","title":"Hiromasa Suzuki - Rock Joint Biwa (Kumikyoku Fulukotofumi Black)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fulukotofumi is the most important and ancient historical chronicle of Japan. The content of this work becomes an inspiration for the creation of a sound transposition of the legends and myths that most marked the spirit and inspiration of Hiromasa Suzuki, as a musician and as a high-level composer.The music that is concentrated between these grooves is a representation of the best that moved in the early seventies in the jazz-rock orbit at an international level; in addition, very strong infiltrations of tradition, characterized above all by the extremely calibrated and perfectly ad hoc interventions of the Biwa (lute of the Japanese tradition once used by blind monks to recite poems) and the Wadaiko drum.From its entirety, a highly evocative and magical sketch in nine suites emerges, a viaticum towards the most ancestral past of Japan, but at the same time also immersed in the modernity and expressive relevance of the land of the rising sun.A masterpiece that, buried for too long in the archives, is finally back reissued on vinyl with original graphics on its gatefold cover and enriched by an insert with the translations of the precious introductory essay contained in its original edition.Accompanying Suzuki's acoustic and electric piano is the crème of Japanese jazz that gives free rein to one's primordial instincts. Some passages come close to progressive, especially thanks to Kiyoshi Sugimoto's Allan Holdsworth style guitar. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cinedelic.com\/en\/catalogue\/rock-joint-biwa-kumikyoku-fulukotofumi-detail.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCinedelic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5im0YTWeJ2CGxh1o8u2P7q?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.051%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50.0644%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50.0644%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCinedelic Records \u003c\/span\u003e– CNPL810,\u003cspan\u003e On Records Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– CNPL810\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrient Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eVinyl, \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Reissue\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 Nov 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz, Rock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz, Rock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cinedelic Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42302181867678,"sku":"8055323521390","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a2997856920_10.jpg?v=1671089504"},{"product_id":"kohske-mine-quintet-daguri","title":"Kohske Mine Quintet – Daguri","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe music Coltrane, Tyner and others did back in their prime made a sizable ripple in jazz.

His mother taught music and played the shamisen – a traditional Japanese stringed instrument – while his father ran, among other things, an electronics shop. Their respective professions were to be decisive in the path that Terauchi would later take. Serendipitously, at the age of five, Takeshi was given his first instrument – a guitar. His destiny sealed, he quickly began experimenting with different tools from his father's shop to give his instrument a stronger sound. The technological approach came from his father, the technique from his mother. Terauchi’s signature playing style owes a lot to his mother’s instrument of choice, as he attacks the notes on his guitar as one plucks the strings of a shamisen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis exceptional compilation you are holding in your hands explores some of the best works by Takeshi Terauchi, recorded between 1966 and 1974, where the guitar hero looks inwards to Japan for inspiration. A meeting between traditional folk songs and the unique way Terauchi and his band play: the content is explosive, inspired, and highly addictive! The 60s and 70s were undoubtedly Terauchi’s finest hours, and in the late 60s, one Japanese critic said that Terauchi was not only the best guitarist in Japan, but also in the world.

When he returned to Japan he went straight into the studio and cut this Blue Note inspired Japanese Jazz Masterpiece. With a selection of tunes ranging from the 1940's stylings of \"Tico Tico\" through to the samba infused \"Orfeo Negro\" and arriving in Silversville with \"Sayonara Blues\" Hideo Shiraki has hit all the sweet spots. With sleeve notes translated into English for the first time and laid out in the Blue Note Style this release is going to be seen as a landmark re-issue. A special vinyl-only release on Jazz Room Records. - Label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Bossa jazz from 60s Japan – a set recorded right around the same time that Verve first started hitting bossa grooves in the US. The sound here is sharper than a Verve bossa album, though – with some of the same hardbop inflections you'd hear on other Hideo Shiraki albums from the time – thanks to flute and tenor from Sleepy Matsumoto, and trumpet from Hisaya Omata. The tenor and trumpet come together with almost a Blue Note-styled sort of sound – but the bossa vibe is still nicely maintained in some of the looser percussion touches in the rhythms – a great blend that makes the album a real standout in the Japanese jazz scene of the 60.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jazzmessengers.com\/en\/97721\/hideo-shiraki\/plays-bossa-nova-limited-edition\"\u003eJazz Messengers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"570\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5p2j6oy9yFSqu5Bsyhho5U?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_1fWaB\" border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eJazz Room Records\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– JAZZR-025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Reissue\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eUK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eReissued:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2023-06-16\"\u003e2023 (Original: 1962)\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eJazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJapanese Jazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eHard Bop, Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Jazz Room Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42678485549214,"sku":"5050580804869","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/R-27418602-1687093304-7027-1.jpg?v=1690362056"},{"product_id":"teketeke-hagata","title":"TEKE::TEKE - Hagata","description":"\u003cp\u003eMischievous, unrestrained, and daring, the Montreal psych-rock collective’s second album boldly redefines a sound they’d already redefined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may not be easy to get accustomed to eleki music, a strain of surf rock most closely associated with Japanese guitar master Takeshi Terauchi. While eleki songs usually feature a simple guitar line that’s catchy as a wave, the accompanying pentatonic scales and rhythm guitar in double time add layers of complexity to the material. Hey, just because good music can be simple doesn’t mean it has to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerauchi’s heir apparent, TEKE::TEKE of Montreal, started as a band that exclusively played covers of the legend’s tunes, but molted into songwriters of their own after bringing vocalist Maya Kuroki into the fold. The group’s debut album, 2021’s Shirushi, gained the group a spot on the long list of nominees for Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize. That album’s follow-up, \u003cem\u003eHagata\u003c\/em\u003e, so boldly redefines a sound they already redefined that Polaris might as well give TEKE::TEKE the 2023 award right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShirushi was an eclectic, fun record that carved out its own cubby hole in the record store by melding eleki with psych-rock, as well as some occasional shoegaze. But at least compared to \u003cem\u003eHagata\u003c\/em\u003e, it was reticent. Principally, Kuroki often took a back seat on Shirushi—and when she did chime in, it was often with singing or whispering. On \u003cem\u003eHagata\u003c\/em\u003e, Kuroki belts out high-octave notes and screams in her native Japanese—which is representative of the entire seven-member group breaking free. They collectively act like a kid in a music store, reaching for wind instruments, horns—anything that can make a sound, really.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuted as it was at times, Shirushi knew how to have fun. But there’s a difference between having fun while under a chaperone’s watch and having fun when they’re looking the other way. Hagata is mischievous, unrestrained, and daring. In other words, even more fun. At various turns, the record dips into Japanese folk (with fee-fi-fo-fum chants and Kuroki singing vibrato, as heard on opener “Garakuta”), chillwave-ish electronic minimalism (“Onaji Heya”), and soundtrack music to fictional California beach sitcoms and Connery-era Bond movies (“Setagaya Koya” and “Yurei Zanmai”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTEKE::TEKE proved during a few shows they played in the US earlier this year that their music is best experienced live, with psychedelic soap-bubble visual effects draping the performers. Still, in concert there’s foreshadowing whenever a musician reaches for an instrument. On record, it’s a mystery what sound they’ll create next, and which member will be responsible for it. In a multiverse-obsessed culture in which ludicrous left-field mash-ups are not just encouraged but almost required, there might be no album that captures the power of crossover music, no album better-suited for the times we’re in, than Hagata. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodmagazine.com\/135441\/teke-teke-hagata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFlood Magazine\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the tender-hearted “Jinzou Maria” to the rumbling and raucous “Yurei Zanmai”, the songs of \u003cem\u003eHagata\u003c\/em\u003e bear an eerie yet somehow familiar sensation. Japanese pop tones, Serge Gainsbourg grandeur, folk whisper, and Brazilian surf rock all mix into the psychedelic stew. Blending past and present, from Canada to Japan, multiple lives lived at once, each track carries a sense of change, impact, of having been marked in an intimate way. And yet the force behind that marking is always just out of grasp, a wisp, a ghost, an energy, a spirit that compels you to keep reaching. And at the end of the day, the concrete answer of how that bite happened is far less thrilling than the bite itself.

Around the end of March, just as my body was feeling a little lighter, I found myself reaching for the synthesizer. I had no intention of composing something; I just wanted to be showered in sound. I had a feeling that it’d have a small healing effect on my damaged body and soul. Up until then, I barely had the energy to listen to music, let alone play anything. But after that day, I began to occasionally touch the keys of the synthesizer and piano, and I began to record little sketches of sounds as if to write a diary. I tried choosing 12 of my favorite sketches for this album. There are no adornments—I’m intentionally putting them out as is. From now on, until my body gives out, I’ll probably continue to keep this kind of ‘diary.’” - Label\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA collection of ambient etudes for piano and synthesizer, the album is strikingly minimal in its arrangements.

Others, like “20220202” and “20220214,” are similarly atmospheric, made up of raw, unvarnished sounds; they feel more like demos than the focused interventions of Sakamoto’s past solo records. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/ryuichi-sakamoto-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0kvmLk15RUoNqsn8acxqf4?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_1fWaB\" border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px; width: 46.6167%; height: 156.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 29.6217%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 70.3069%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eMasterworks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 29.6217%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 70.3069%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e2 x\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 29.6217%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 70.3069%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2023-06-23\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 29.6217%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 70.3069%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eElectronic,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClassical\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 44.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 29.6217%; height: 44.8px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px; width: 70.3069%; height: 44.8px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAmbient,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eModern Classical\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Milan \/ Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42807015538846,"sku":"0196587898212","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Ryuichi-Sakamoto-12.jpg?v=1697526858"},{"product_id":"jiro-inagaki-wajazz-legends-jiro-inagaki-selected-by-yusuke-ogawa-universounds","title":"Jiro Inagaki – WaJazz Legends: Jiro Inagaki - Selected by Yusuke Ogawa (Universounds)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversounds, HMV Record Shop\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e180g\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eteam up for an exceptional release in their highly acclaimed\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWaJazz series\u003c\/em\u003e, to be out on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJiro Inagaki's 90th birthday, October 3rd, 2023, celebrating the life and music of one of the most iconic Japanese jazz musicians of the last 60+ years.

A wonderful piece of work. - adapted from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.universounds.net\/product\/10224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eUniversounds (Yusuke Ogawa)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nh6x7L3gYp4?si=FrQCPTsckeIjeOAK\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_1fWaB\" border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eColumbia, HMV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eTakt Jazz Series,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eProject Re:Vinyl (HMV)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGatefold\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReissued:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-12-03\"\u003e2022 (Original: 1969)\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eJazz, Japanese Jazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003eContemporary Jazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFree Improvisation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42889642213534,"sku":"4549767165325","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/1-hiroshi-suzuki-masahiko-togashi-variationcopy.jpg?v=1719909598"},{"product_id":"akira-miyazawa-bull-trout","title":"Akira Miyazawa – Bull Trout","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exuberant album by Akira Miyazawa, the tenor saxophonist who made substantial contributions to the development of Japan's jazz scene.
