Masayoshi TAKANAKA
Seychelles (LP)
Universal Japan
Cat: UPJY 9433. Rel: 07 Aug 24
 
Funk
Review: Masayoshi Takanaka's debut album, Seychelles, serves as an excellent introduction to the vibrant world of Japanese city pop. Released in 1976, this album blends uptempo jazz fusion with tropical grooves, presenting dynamic chord progressions and groovy basslines that epitomize the genre's essence. Takanaka's mastery of the guitar shines throughout, supported by a stellar lineup of contributing artists, including Yukihiro Takahashi among others. Reprinted on LP, Seychelles retains its timeless appeal, offering an immersive listening experience characterized by its viiibes and easy-going tropical aesthetic. The remastering and cutting by Alex Wharton from Abbey Road Studios ensure the album's sonic clarity, while the inclusion of clear sky blue vinyl adds to its allure. For fans of city pop or those looking to delve into Japanese music, Seychelles is a great place to visit.

Dancin' (4:23)
In Your Lovin' (4:53)
Review: Blissful boogie reissue from Junko Ohashi, whose 7-inch promo for 'Dancin' here functioned as the promo material for the 1983 album 'Point Zero'. Sounding just as rough, farty and raw as its original LP cut, the track is a perfect example of what Japan brought to disco - blending it largely with city pop - at the time. 'In Your Lovin', as it did on the original album, brings up the B-side with a downer-tempo funk beat, and a lyrical subject dealing with a romanticized, ideal lover.

Review: Yumi Murata's Uterus Uterus is a jazz-pop classic from 1985. Yumi is a vocal coach and former singer who was active from the late 70s and through the 80s before opening her own Murata Yumi Vocal Training Room in 1991 and teaching ever since. This long-player was a later one out of the seven she released in all and is one of her most popular as it mixes up fusion, new wave, funk, pop and jazz across synth sounds. These are enjoyable and sophisticated sounds from this talented vocalist.

Review: Japanese keys wizard Hiroshi Sato recorded many albums across his career, bringing the vibrant sound of synthesis into earshot with his earliest albums in the late 70s. Orient was his third solo album, released in 1979 on Kitty Records in a pitch-perfect daydream of AOR goodness. Tracks like 'Son Goku' sum up the persistent appeal of Sato's music, fusing the smoothest compositions with some playful sound design approaches, which show he was having fun with the studio gear beyond writing exquisite melodies. Elsewhere, he had fun going into full freak mode with the madcap ear candy of 'Donkama'. If you can't get enough of that era of Japanese synth pop, this reissue is an absolute must.

Review: Japan's Hiroshi Sato is well known to record obsessives who value his ability to craft pure musical nostalgia for a place you haven't even been to, He has turnabout tens of essential records, many of which are in the process of being reissued right now. His masterful jazz-funk classic Orient is one of his best known works from 1979 but All Of Me is another classic. It came much later in 1995 and is a killer pop record with glistening synths, infectious drum programming and contributions from a number of guests.
