During World War II, Jazz music was banned by the wartime authorities of Japan, and during the allied forces’ subsequent occupation, jazz was reinserted into Japanese culture just as it was on the cusp of the bebop explosion, playing a major role in Japan’s cultural reconstruction. This compilation collects the finest examples of Japan’s unique interpretation of the music between 1969 and 1984, highlighting the progression from an early copycat style to a thriving period of progressive innovation and experimentation. None of these recordings have ever been released outside of Japan until now, and were previously only available on the original private press LPs which could easily amount to several thousand dollars spent for just a handful of these tracks.

During World War II, Jazz music was banned by the wartime authorities of Japan, and during the allied forces’ subsequent occupation, jazz was reinserted into Japanese culture just as it was on the cusp of the bebop explosion, playing a major role in Japan’s cultural reconstruction.

Fishmans is a very unique and distinctive band in Japan. Their music is influenced by reggae, dub and rocksteady. They blend elements of rock, funk and hip hop as well.

Their music incorporates elements of classical Indian music, Krautrock, Traditional Folk, and 70s Rock. Most importantly their music is about freedom of the mind and body and building a bridge between the supernatural and the present. Improvisation is a key element to their sound. The shifting dimensions of their fourth album Masana Temples are informed by various experiences the band had with traveling through life together, ranging from the months spent on tour to making a pilgrimage to Lisbon to record the album with jazz musician Bruno Pernadas. The band sought out Pernadas both out of admiration for his music and in an intentional move to work with a producer who came from a wildly different background. With Masana Temples, the band wanted to challenge their own concepts of what psychedelic music could be. Elements of both the attentive folk and wild-eyed rocking sides of the band are still intact throughout, but they’re sharper and more defined. More than the literal interpretation of being on a journey, the album’s always changing sonic panorama reflects the spiritual connection of the band moving through this all together. Life for a traveling band is a series of constant metamorphoses, with languages, cultures, climates and vibes changing with each new town. The only constant for Kikagaku Moyo throughout their travels were the five band members always together moving through it all, but each of them taking everything in from very different perspectives. Inspecting the harmonies and disparities between these perspectives, the group reflects the emotional impact of their nomadic paths. The music is the product of time spent in motion and all of the bending mindsets that come with it.\" - Guruguru Brain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes obi strip + printed insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Guruguru Brain 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kikagaku Moyo","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40001145307226,"sku":"lp-13130","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/Kikagaku-Moyo--Masana-Temples-1.jpg?v=1759286718"},{"product_id":"tatsuro-yamashita-spacy-import-vinyl-lp","title":"Tatsuro Yamashita: Spacy (180g, Japan Import) Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"Spacy, originally released in 1977, boasts an impressive lineup of Japanese legends including Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Minako Yoshida, Kenji Ohmura, and Hiroshi Sato.

When the Fatback Band climbed the 1975 US and UK charts with their infectious '(Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop' hit, Japanese label Victor put out the following year the first Japan made Disco tune with 'Sexy Bus Stop', released under the mysterious name Dr. Dragon \u0026amp; Oriental Express, a pseudonym for successful Japanese pop composer Kyohei Tsutsumi. 'Sexy Bus Stop' became an instant hit in the country and, taking this opportunity, various Japanese record companies started releasing Disco music. From 1976 until the early 1980s the music was often recorded by skilled studio musicians, rather than by computer input, providing a really solid sound to the dancefloor.

This is the first time a book of this type has been has been published outside of Japan and the first anywhere of this size and scale. It is a unique collection of over 500 albums of free and modern jazz recorded and released in Japan during a period of radical transformation and constant reinvention. Through a unique gallery of albums, J Jazz charts the development of jazz in Japan from the first stirrings of the modern jazz scene in the mid to late 1950s and on through the hard bop and modal jazz of the 1960s. It steers the reader into the radical directions of the 1970s when free jazz, fusion, post-bop, and jazz-funk opened up a growing number of Japanese jazz artists to a new global audience before consolidating in the mid to late 1980s with a musical scene that laid the path for the contemporary jazz generation to follow. Over 500 full-colour sleeves from many of the leading names in Japanese jazz sit alongside rare and private pressings that tell a story of constant change and musical exploration. J Jazz includes profiles of several leading record labels such as East Wind, Frasco, King Records, and Nippon Columbia as well as critical independents such as Three Blind Mice, ALM, and Aketa’s Disk. The book also features a chapter on albums by non-Japanese artists that only received a Japanese release, with collectible, rare, and obscure releases by figures such as Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Mal Waldron, Steve Lacy, and Art Blakey. J Jazz includes Japanese jazz charts from some of the world's leading jazz DJs including Gilles Peterson, Toshio Matsuura, Paul Murphy, and Shuya and Yoshihiro Okino. Among the specialist content is a feature on obi strips by record dealer and Japanese jazz expert, Yusuke Ogawa, plus a special article on Japanese Blue Note albums. Across its 300-plus pages, J Jazz includes a detailed introduction contextualising the music, tracing the story of Japan's fascination with jazz back before the war.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=BBE\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tony Higgins \u0026 Mike Peden","offers":[{"title":"Book+CD","offer_id":41288533966938,"sku":"bk-1552","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/jazzbook-1.jpg?v=1762285738"},{"product_id":"music-from-memory-virtual-dreams-ii-ambient-explorations-in-the-house-techno-age-japan-1993-99-vinyl-2lp","title":"Music From Memory: Virtual Dreams II - Ambient Explorations In The House \u0026 Techno Age, Japan 1993-99 Vinyl 2LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"We are proud to announce the next installment of our popular multi-artist compilation, Virtual Dreams: Virtual Dreams - Ambient Explorations in the House and Techno Age, Japan 1993-1999.

While Part One focused heavily on music from European techno and house producers, exploring new soundtracks for chill-out rooms and reimagining the future of club culture, Part Two narrows the lens to a unique time and place: Japan between 1993-1999. Despite missing out on the 'Acid House Fever,' Japan's club culture began to take shape in the early '90s. Unlike the rest of the world, where ambient techno\/IDM emerged as a byproduct or response to the scene, 'listening techno' was a central pillar of Japan's club culture from the start. Virtual Dreams II is compiled by Eiji Taniguchi and Jamie Tiller, who previously collaborated on Music From Memory releases such as Heisei No Oto and Dream Dolphin - Gaia. This project is especially poignant as it is the final one Jamie Tiller worked on before his tragic passing in 2023. Jamie had been researching, planning, and compiling this edition of Virtual Dreams even before the first chapter was released, believing that many great tracks in Japan fit the series' concept.
