Description
From Wewantsounds, a label known for its numerous reissues of Japanese music, comes a cinematic masterpiece blending Showa-era pop and enka, now available on remastered audio!
Originally released by Teichiku Records in 1974, this album showcases the full appeal of Mai Kaji as a singer. Drawing on her sensibilities as an actress, she delivers each song with dramatic flair. The album features "Ginza no Chou," highlighted by its funk arrangement, and a cover of "Tokyo Nagaremono," known as the theme song for director Kiyonori Suzuki's film of the same name. Dressed in a modern 1970s groove, it radiates a fresh appeal today. This edition has been newly remastered at Teichiku and faithfully recreates the original artwork and obi strip (*CD edition without obi). It is a deluxe release featuring an insert with new liner notes, including an interview with Mai Kaji.
