Known for its surreal, dark folk, and baroque pop sound, the album features arrangements by Japanese jazz musician Yuji Ohno (known for scoring various Japanese anime series including Lupin) and showcases Sai's unique, ethereal vocals, often described as an introspective spiritual journey. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoshiko Sai’s third album – another gem in a tragically brief yet remarkable career – is being reissued once more. Originally released in the mid-1970s, \u003cem\u003eTaiji No Yume\u003c\/em\u003e emerged from a fortuitous chain of events. Sai, whose primary passion was poetry, began writing during a period of illness. It was only through her encounter with singer Rabi Nakayama that she ended up in the recording studio, where she completed a discography that blends psychedelic textures with experimental folk-rock fusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eTaiji No Yume\u003c\/em\u003e, this convergence of chance and talent is elevated by the presence of key collaborators such as pianist Masahiko Sato and polymath Yuji Ohno, whose fluid, jazz-inflected playing lends the album a sense of weightlessness. This quality perfectly complements the album’s dreamlike mood, which feels at once fantastical and delicately composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nine-minute title track serves as the album’s centrepiece and final statement – a sweeping synthesis of the album’s motifs. It opens with a shimmering piano motif, soon giving way to castanets and Latin-tinged rhythms, which in turn dissolve into a cinematic arrangement of strings and horns. Throughout, Yoshiko Sai’s voice dances across the surface like vapour – light, poised, and utterly transportive. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hhv-mag.com\/review\/yoshiko-sai-taiji-no-yume\/?lang=en#:~:text=It%20opens%20with%20a%20shimmering,%2C%20poised%2C%20and%20utterly%20transportive.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHHV Mag\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/79eouT5QdDBqn2SolN3imm?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\u003e2025 Limited edition reissue\u003cbr\u003eClear vinyl\u003cbr\u003eVinyl Goes Around pressing\u003cbr\u003eJapan edition with Obi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1 ヒターノ (Gitano)\u003cbr\u003eA2 アルハンブラの青い壜 (Alhambra No Aoi Bin)\u003cbr\u003eA3 ある晴れた夜 (Aru Hareta Yoru)\u003cbr\u003eA4 波止場 (Hatoba)\u003cbr\u003eA5 春の夢 (Haru No Yume)\u003cbr\u003eA6 海の沈黙 (Umi No Chinmoku)\u003cbr\u003eB1 青いガラス玉 (Aoi Garasudama)\u003cbr\u003eB2 遍路 (Henro)\u003cbr\u003eB3 白昼夢 (Hakuchūmu)\u003cbr\u003eB4 胎児の夢 (Taiji No Yume)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: P-Vine Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Clear Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Originally Released: 1977\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Rock, Folk, World, \u0026amp; Country\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Folk, Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock, Japanese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Japanese Folk\/Rock\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"P-Vine Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46336481853598,"sku":"4995879075562","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/Yoshiko-Sai---Taiji-No-Yume-500x500.jpg?v=1766825291","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/yoshiko-sai-%e4%bd%90%e4%ba%95%e5%a5%bd%e5%ad%90-taiji-no-yume-%e8%83%8e%e5%85%90%e3%81%ae%e5%a4%a2-clear-vinyl","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
