The Music of Japan.

[Sonik Wiz]

it's about kerberos (the three-headed dog) as a puppy

I'm definitely groovin' on the music! And why not throw in some quirky animation for added value? Strange ending. I wish they had the lyrics subbed!

Fun fact I found out today...Japan actually released some singles on SACD...
My question is this: how could they have ever made it cost-effective???
On a side note, I wonder if 8cm SACDs are possible...

As long as we mentioned Momoe Yamaguchi, we might as well complete the popular female trio of the 70s with Masako Mori and Junko Sakurada.

Masako Mori probably had the best voice of the three.


Here‘s Junko with Momoe and Masako singing backing vocals.


All 3 together:

Some wild music, Brett, with astounding separation. No wonder you won't leave the Land of the Rising Sun!
Very doubtful you could 'surf' in your home state of Indiana!

On a MUCH MORE contemplative scale, this exquisite 5 RBCD set honoring the film music of Ryuichi Sakamoto

Pretty nifty little tune. Do you have this in LP?

No, just saw this on one of steelydave's lists here and thought I'd sample the music. Not sure it's nifty enough for me to want the album.

New Cornelius album out today:

No Atmos (yet) it seems, but judging from his history the last 2 decades, I'd be surprised if it DOESN'T see a surround release in the near future. Although I would really love if they went back a bit and did Fantasma in surround, thats such a phenomenal album. It's such a shame that he only started doing surround releases starting with his next album Point, still some of the craziest surround mixing out there.

If it doesn't hit disc, it may hit digital 5.1 FLAC like Cornelius' 攻殻機動隊 新劇場版 O.S.T. from 2015...albeit that would only be available if you have a Japanese credit card.

The dilemma with purchasing Japanese Music on DVD-A/SACD is the lack of reference...you just don't have an assurance whether the mix will be good or not, especially given the price you're paying...
There are a couple I've been eyeing that just have zero documentation on the quality of the contents...which prevents me from biting the bullet.

Okay I'm sorry this is the funniest art I have ever seen on a multichannel release! Look how surprised it is!

Even nice! How's the music and mix?

Ok, you Japan-o-philes.

Y'all make me want to head to the Ginza.

Check earworm thread for a track by Ben Sidran (WHO??).

American artist who has been to Japan and wrote a loving song about his understanding of Japan and its' people. One verse is sung in Japanese. MITSUBISHI BOY!! Already posted on QQ in another thread:

https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/threads/whats-your-latest-earworm.23221/page-38#post-711336
BTW: Japan-o-philes born in US and from the Midwest will appreciate this factoid: Sidran is from the Midwest, as am I. Any of you transplanted MIdwesterners who have visited Japan or live(d) there will dig this.

Guest star from Midwest lived in Texas. He wasn't born in Texas. Milwaukee/Waukesha. They were in a band together at UW. Bucky would show up once in a while, too!

PS: You may recognize his guest sideman. Buddies until Sidran's death. They were both in a band called the Ardells at my Alma Mater, UW. Boz Scaggs was also an Ardell. Go BUCKY!!
