Jun Arasaki and Nine Sheeps - Kajadi Fubushi (new repress) 7inch

2022 version specifications: Printed on special paper embossed with matte silver aluminum foil. The disc is a translucent color disc inspired by the Ryukyu sun. “Kajadi Fubushi” is a representative piece of Ryukyuan classical music and dance, and is a classic song played at auspicious celebrations. It is usually sung by a small group with sanshin accompaniment, but a musician named Jun Arasaki was curious and wondered what would happen if it were performed with a big band. This version was experimented with in the 1970s. A total of 13 musicians including living national treasure Choichi Terukina were gathered in the studio, including 5 sanshin players, 4 wind instrument players, piano, electric guitar, electric bass, percussion, and drums, and they performed together without any rehearsal. A truly miraculous recording that was recorded in a one-time performance. According to Shinsaki, it took a lot of effort to compose and arrange the Ryukyuan classics, which lack harmony, but the sound that came out has a profound solemnity, and to music enthusiasts, it sounds like the "Pet Sounds" of the Ryukyuan scale. Comes with a bonus. It is also a miracle that we were able to find the cassette tape that was recorded at the time for the release. The remix by Visible Clokes, who was knocked out by this take, is a masterpiece version of the <Fourth World> that is neither this world nor this world. Although the word "sheeps" is misspelled, the original title is kept as is (corrected in the English title).
