Happy End —
Happy End (1970) (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Avex/Great Tracks (Japan), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Wonderfully folksy rock from this obscure Japanese group – an early 70s combo that included Harumi Hosono, years before his more electronic work! The sound of the album borrows a lot from the best of America's late 60s underground folk rock scene – and the production's an amazing blend ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Happy End —
Kazemachi Roman (180 gram pressing) ... LP Pony Canyon/Great Tracks (Japan), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A seminal bit of Japanese rock from the early 70s – performed by a group that included Haruomi Hosono, and who has a style that borrows from the best of the LA scene of the late 60s! The tunes are extremely catchy – done in a folksy style that has compressed guitars and spacious ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Katsumi Horii —
Hot Is Cool (blue vinyl pressing) ... LP Great Tracks (Japan), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A set that's got a vibe that's very much like the 80s-styled image on the cover – sweet Japanese fusion from the time, served up with plenty of keyboard work from Katsumi Horii – next to guitar from Hirokuni Korekata, who seems to get just as much space in the mix as the keyboards! ...

Great Tracks (Japan), 1990. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $36.99 59.99
Great mature work from Junko Ohashi – a set that's done well into her long run as one of the best Japanese singers of her generation – working here in modes that really show just how much she's grown as an artist! Most of the tracks are written by Ken Sato and Machiko Ryu – who ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Great Tracks (Japan), 1988. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $36.99 59.99
It's definitely 1988 on this album from Junko Ohashi – as the singer's making use of a lot of the best currents that had been showing up in American soul of the time – especially the early years of the new jack generation who mixed in heavier beats with R&B-styled production! Junko' ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Taeko Onuki —
Mignonne (180 gram pressing) ... LP Great Tracks (Japan), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A late 70s charmer from Taeko Onuki – and a set that mixes in some warmly jazzy elements that really make her vocals shine! The album's partly arranged by Ryuichi Sakamoto, but we almost prefer the other arrangements, handled by Seo Ichizo – which bring up those jazzy currents, and ...

Ryuichi Sakamoto —
Neo Geo ... LP Epic/Great Tracks (Japan), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Ryuchi Sakamoto opens up a new world here with his music – on a set that was not only a big international hit, but which also features a fair bit of overseas artists as well! There's some really surprising appearances here – including Bootsy Collins and Bill Laswell on basses, Sly ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice Japanese pressing!)
Hiroshi Sato —
Awakening (blue vinyl pressing) ... LP Alpha/Great Tracks (Japan), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A mighty nice album from Japanese keyboardist Hiroshi Sato – and a set that's full of surprises throughout! The record begins in territory that's almost like some of the ambient Japanese work to come, but then moves into more fusion-based modes that warm things up very nicely – ...

Alfa/Great Tracks (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99 49.99
An album with a dreamy cover image, but one that comes across with a nicely down to earth vibe – really well-crafted arrangements from Hiroshi Satoh, who does a great job of shaping the music for the vocals of Yoichi Takizawa! There's a number of fusion players in the lineup – ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Akiko Yano —
Super Folk Song (180 gram pressing) ... LP Great Tracks (Japan), 1992. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the most personal albums we've ever heard from Akiko Yano – a really lovely set that has her working mostly with just piano alongside her vocals – which creates a sense of intimacy that really sets the record apart from some of Yano's other projects! If you've ever thought that ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Izumi Yukimura —
Super Generation ... LP Columbia/Great Tracks (Japan), 1974. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A 70s classic from Izumi Yukimura – a key Japanese cultural figure who was known as much for her work on the screen as for her recordings as a singer! Here, Izumi sings the music of Ryoichi Hattori, but with some help from younger talents who really open up the groove – including ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Great Tracks (Japan), 1990s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $54.99 64.99
A deep dive into the Japanese scene of the 90s – featuring music at a point when things were really moving past some of the more familiar city pop styles of the decade before! The cuts here have all sorts of great elements coming in – a bit of an influence from R&B sounds from both ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Very cool Japanese pressing – one pink record and one blue – divided up into girls and boys!)
