With his encyclopedic knowledge of music and boundless curiosity for new sounds, Hosono is the auteur of his own idiosyncratic musical world, putting his unmistakable stamp on hundreds of recordings as an artist, session player, songwriter, and producer. Born and raised in central Tokyo, his adolescent obsession with American pop culture informed his early forays into country music, which he would revisit later in his career. Hosono made his professional debut in 1969 as a member of Apryl Fool, whose heavy psychedelia was somewhat at odds with his influences, which leaned towards the rootsy sounds of Moby Grape and Buffalo Springfield. The latter was one of the main inspirations for his next group, Happy End, whose unique blend of West Coast sounds with Japanese lyrics proved to be highly influential over the course of three albums. After the band’s amicable break up in 1973, Hosono began his solo career with \u003cem\u003eHosono House\u003c\/em\u003e, an intimate slice of Japanese Americana recorded inside a rented house with recording gear squeezed into its tiny bedroom. Hosono’s solo career would take many twists and turns from this point forward, with forays into exotica, electronic, ambient, and techno, culminating in the massive success of techno pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra (\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eYMO\u003c\/span\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in September 1978, a mere two months before YMO’s debut, \u003cem\u003eCochin Moon\u003c\/em\u003e is a clear precursor to the groundbreaking synth and sequencer-dominated sounds that would come to define the iconic trio. Credited to Hosono and Pop Art legend Tadanori Yokoo (who created the cover art), \u003cem\u003eCochin Moon\u003c\/em\u003e is a fictional soundtrack to a journey into unknown worlds, inspired by Hosono and Yokoo’s trip to India. Initially the album was to be a kind of ethnographic musical document, using found sounds and field recordings made by Hosono himself. Instead, after Yokoo introduced Hosono to the sounds of Kraftwerk and krautrock during the trip, \u003cem\u003eCochin Moon\u003c\/em\u003e became something much stranger. Created almost entirely on synthesizers and sequencers with the help of future \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eYMO\u003c\/span\u003e collaborators Ryuichi Sakamoto and Hideki Matsutake, the music on the album is the perfect encapsulation of Hosono’s concept of “sightseeing music,” transporting the listener to an exotic place that may or may not exist. This highly sought-after album sees its first-ever official release outside of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdmired by artists ranging from Van Dyke Parks to Mac DeMarco, Hosono continues to forge ahead as he heads into his fifth decade as a musician. With the re-release of his key albums for the first time outside of Japan, his genius will be discovered by a whole new generation of fans around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst ever release outside of Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslated interview with Haruomi Hosono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered form the original analog master tapes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct shots by Melissa Kagerer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]LITA 174[[Artist]]Haruomi Hosono\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Cochin Moon \/ Haruomi Hosono -

Born in Nightmute, Alaska, in 1941, Angaiak began playing guitar at a young age, quickly learning the basics before serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Stationed in Vietnam and far away from home, Angaiak forged an astute outlook on his region, his country, and the world itself. Upon his return, Angaiak enrolled in the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, where he became active in the preservation of his native language as part of the school’s Eskimo Language Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the program’s work and a friendship with music student Stephen Halbern, Angaiak recorded \u003cem\u003eI’m Lost in the City\u003c\/em\u003e, a project that helped to document and promote the previously oral Yup’ik language into a written one through a series of songs. Each side of the album, which showcases John’s intimate vocal and guitar style, shares a part of Angaiak’s culture and history: Side One is sung in Yup’ik, while the material on Side Two is delivered in English. Both are equally emotional, deeply personal and extremely affecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 13 songs, Angaiak speaks to his community and also to the world. “Ak’a Tamaani,” for one, became a regional hit in Alaska and reached as far as Greenland where Angaiak later performed in concert. Though \u003cem\u003eI’m Lost in the City\u003c\/em\u003e garnered a small mention in industry bible Billboard, regardless of the album’s cultural value, it sold poorly outside of Alaska and other northern communities, never finding a broader audience. In addition to his work as a painter and author, Angaiak is a proud family man and a source of great knowledge of his people and the changes they have faced over the years, shifting from a subsistence hunting, fishing, and sharing lifestyle to an increasingly urban influenced cash-based existence. An important statement on indigenous life and the human condition, \u003cem\u003eI’m Lost in the City\u003c\/em\u003e showcases Angaiak’s first hand perspective on this challenging transition, something that we can all learn a great deal from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatured on \u003cem\u003eNative North America (Vol. 1): Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966-1985\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered from the original analogue master tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]FDR 620[[Artist]]John Angaiak\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Future Days Recordings","offers":[{"title":"I’m Lost In The City \/ CD \/ CD","offer_id":32372155711567,"sku":"FDR620CD","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"I’m Lost In The City \/ Vinyl \/ LP Black","offer_id":32372155875407,"sku":"FDR620LP","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"I’m Lost In The City \/ Vinyl \/ LP + Book Black","offer_id":44065413628149,"sku":"FDR620LP-BUNDLE","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"I’m Lost In The City \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Bundle Black","offer_id":44065413693685,"sku":"FDR620-621LP-BUNDLE","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/tmp_2F1453493778129-l4m2ivb5gsfnipb9-8c685fc30ea4b58dc0fddd2a77fedf52_2Fangiak.jpg?v=1696119854"},{"product_id":"pacific-breeze-japanese-city-pop-aor-boogie-1976-1986","title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWondering when this will be back in stock?

By the 1960s, the nation had achieved a postwar miracle, soaring to become the world’s second largest economy. Thriving tech exports sent The Rising Sun over the moon. Its pocket cassette players, bleeping video games, and gleaming cars boomed worldwide, wooing pleasure points and pumping Japanese pockets full of yen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapan’s financial buoyancy also permeated its popular culture, birthing an audio analog called City Pop. This new sound arose in the mid-70s and ruled through the 80s, channeling the country’s contemporary psyche. It was sophisticated music mirroring Japan’s punch-drunk prosperity. City Pop epitomized the era, providing a soundtrack for emerging urbanites. An optimistic spirit buzzed through the music in neon-bathed, gauzy tableaus coated with groove-heavy strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific Breeze\u003c\/em\u003e is an expertly compiled collection of choice cuts that range from silky smooth grooves to innovative techno pop bangers and everything in between. Long-revered by crate diggers and adventurous music heads, this music has never been released outside of Japan until now. Including key artists like Taeko Ohnuki and Minako Yoshida, as well as cult favorites Hitomi Tohyama and Hiroshi Sato, the long-awaited release also features a newly commissioned cover painting by Tokyo-based artist Hiroshi Nagai, whose iconic images of resort living have graced the covers of many classic City Pop albums of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the key City Pop players evolved from the Japanese New Music scene of the early 70s, as heard on Light In The Attic’s acclaimed \u003cem\u003eEven a Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026amp; Rock 1969-1973\u003c\/em\u003e, the first release of the ongoing Japan Archival Series.

Emerging fields like soundscape design and architectural acoustics opened up new ways in which sound and music could be consumed. For artists like Yoshimura, Ojima, and Ashikawa, these ideas became the foundation for their musical works, which were heard not only on records and in live performances but also within public and private spaces where they intermingled with the sounds and environments of everyday life. The bubble economy of 1980s Japan also had a hand in the advancement of kankyo ongaku. In an attempt to cultivate an image of sophisticated lifestyle, corporations with expendable income bankrolled various art and music initiatives, which opened up new and unorthodox ways in which artists could integrate their avant-garde musical forms into everyday life: in-store music for Muji, a promo LP for a Sanyo AC unit, and a Seiko watch advert, among others, can all be heard in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKankyo Ongaku is expertly compiled by Spencer Doran (Visible Cloaks) who, with a series of revelatory mixtapes as well as his label Empire of Signs (\u003cem\u003eMusic For Nine Postcards\u003c\/em\u003e), has been instrumental in shepherding interest in this music outside of Japan.

Originally released in 1972 on \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eURC\u003c\/span\u003e (Underground Record Club), one of Japan’s first independent record labels, the Haruomi Hosono-produced album remains one of the most beloved works to come out of Japan’s folk and rock scenes centered around Tokyo and Kansai areas in the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Osaka in a large, music-loving family, Kanenobu picked up the guitar as a teen just as the “college folk” boom swept through university campuses in the Kansai area in the mid-60s. The Pete Seeger and American folk-leaning scene didn’t appeal much to her, however, and instead gravitated towards the British sounds of Donovan and Pentangle, teaching herself guitar techniques by listening to their music. Kanenobu made her songwriting and recording debut as part of Himitsu Kessha Marumaru Kyodan, whose sole single was released on \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eURC\u003c\/span\u003e in 1969. After years of being pushed aside by the label in favor of newer male artists who were more “folky” in a traditional sense, it was her friendship with the groundbreaking band and labelmate Happy End that ultimately helped her secure the opportunity to record a solo album. With Hosono on board as producer, Kanenobu spent seven days recording the songs that would become \u003cem\u003eMisora\u003c\/em\u003e, with most songs recorded in a single take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time \u003cem\u003eMisora\u003c\/em\u003e released in September 1972, Kanenobu was gone. She had left for America, eager to start a new life with Paul Williams, a music writer who had founded Crawdaddy Magazine in 1966. Without the artist to promote it, “_Misora_ was asleep for a long time,” she said. Meanwhile Kanenobu settled near Sonoma in Northern California, retiring from music and concentrating on raising her two children. It wasn’t until Philip K. Dick, the famed writer and family friend, heard \u003cem\u003eMisora\u003c\/em\u003e and encouraged her to get back into music, that Kanenobu felt the urge to pick up the guitar again. Soon new songs started flowing, and Dick helped finance a single for Kanenobu in 1981. He was committed to producing a full length when he died unexpectedly in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile she enjoyed success (especially in Germany) with her hard-hitting group Culture Shock in the 1980s, and continued to release albums in American and in Japan in the 1990s, it’s Misora that keeps coming back to her. Every few years a new generation of fans discover the album. Devendra Banhart, Jim O’Rourke, Steve Gunn, and many others continue to tout its greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKanenobu played a series of sold-out homecoming shows in Japan in 2018, playing \u003cem\u003eMisora\u003c\/em\u003e in its entirety. Surviving members of Happy End came out to support, some even playing in her backing band. Audience members included old and young, some young enough to be her grandchildren. “I love it,” she said. “They love \u003cem\u003eMisora\u003c\/em\u003e, they’ve heard it so many times. And here it rose from death…because for them, they can’t believe it—she’s still alive!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio remastered from the original analog master tapes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs featured on V\/A Even A Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026amp; Rock 1969-1973\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]LITA 175[[Artist]]Sachiko Kanenobu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Misora \/ CD \/ CD","offer_id":32374426894415,"sku":"LITA175CD","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Misora \/ Vinyl \/ LP Blue","offer_id":32374427156559,"sku":"LITA175LP-1","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Misora \/ Vinyl \/ LP Gold","offer_id":32374427287631,"sku":"LITA175LP-2","price":999999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/tmp_2F1693514915550-fcdn3bklvi6-b78832b6aa855210a7d05eba56d5390d_2Fimage_2827_29.png?v=1697169786"},{"product_id":"even-a-tree-can-shed-tears-japanese-folk-rock-1969-1973","title":"Even A Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026 Rock 1969-1973","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was something in the air in the urban corners of late ‘60s Japan. Student protests and a rising youth culture gave way to the angura (short for “underground) movement that thrived on subverting traditions of the post-war years. Rejection of the Beatlemania-inspired Group Sounds and the squeaky clean College Folk movements led the rise of what came to be known in Japan as “New Music,” where authenticity mattered more than replicating the sounds of their idols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the most influential figures in Japanese pop music emerged from this vital period, yet very little of their work has ever been released or heard outside of Japan, until now. Light In The Attic is thrilled to present \u003cem\u003eEven a Tree Can Shed Tears\u003c\/em\u003e, the inaugural release in the label’s Japan Archival Series. This is the first-ever, fully licensed collection of essential Japanese folk and rock songs from the peak years of the angura movement to reach Western audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn mid-to-late 1960s Tokyo, young musicians and college students were drawn to Shibuya’s Dogenzaka district for the jazz and rock kissas, or cafes, that dotted its winding hilly streets. Some of these spaces doubled as performance venues, providing a stage for local regulars like Hachimitsu Pie with their The Band-like ragged Americana, Tetsuo Saito with his spacey philosophical folk, and the influential Happy End, who successfully married the unique cadences of the Japanese language to the rhythms of the American West Coast. For many years Dogenzaka remained a center of the city’s “New Music” scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile a different kind of music subculture was beginning to emerge in the Kansai region around Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. Far more political than their eastern counterparts, many of the Kansai-based “underground” artists began in the realm of protest folk music. They include Takashi Nishioka and his progressive folk collective Itsutsu No Akai Fuusen, the “Japanese Joni Mitchell” Sachiko Kanenobu, and The Dylan II, whose members ran The Dylan cafe in Osaka, which became a hub for the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEven a Tree Can Shed Tears\u003c\/em\u003e also includes the bluesy avant-garde stylings of Maki Asakawa, future Sadistic Mika Band founder Kazuhiko Kato with his fuzzy, progressive psychedelia, the beatnik acid folk of Masato Minami, and the intimate living room folk of Kenji Endo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly 50 years on, this “New Music” is born anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst-ever fully licensed compilation of this music to be released outside Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal artwork by illustrator Heisuke Kitazawa\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompiled and produced by Jake Orrall, Yosuke Kitazawa, Matt Sullivan, and Patrick McCarthy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]LITA 156[[Artist]]V\/A - Even A Tree Can Shed Tears\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Even A Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026 Rock 1969-1973 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Black","offer_id":32374433906767,"sku":"LITA156-1","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Even A Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026 Rock 1969-1973 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Purple","offer_id":43348176273653,"sku":"LITA156-1-2","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Even A Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026 Rock 1969-1973 \/ CD \/ CD","offer_id":44065414283509,"sku":"LITA156CD","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/tmp_2F1492543685162-vf7gwct79t-96add0cf4ab216068310f08bb90adc15_2FJFRcover.jpg?v=1696119865"},{"product_id":"green","title":"GREEN","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarely known outside of his home country during his lifetime, the late Japanese ambient music pioneer Hiroshi Yoshimura has seen his global stature rise steadily in the past few years. The 2017 reissue of his lauded debut, \u003cem\u003eMusic For Nine Post Cards\u003c\/em\u003e, along with a slow-building cult internet following has helped ignite a renaissance in his acclaimed body of work, much of which has never been released outside of Japan. Known for his sound design and environmental music, Yoshimura worked on a number of commissions following the 1982 release of \u003cem\u003eMusic For Nine Post Cards\u003c\/em\u003e, including works for museums, galleries, public spaces, TV shows, video art, fashion shows, and even a cosmetics company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1986, \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eGREEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is one of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s most well-loved recordings and a favorite of the artist himself. Recorded over the winter of 1985-86 at Yoshimura’s home studio, the compositions unfold at an unhurried pace, a stark contrast to the busy city life of Tokyo. As Yoshimura explained in the original liner notes, the album title in the context of this body of work is not meant to be seen as a color, but is rather used to convey “the comfortable scenery of the natural cycle known as GREEN”—which perfectly encapsulates the soothing and warm sounds contained on the album, although it was created utilizing Yamaha FM synthesizers, known for their crisp digital tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition marks the first reissue of the highly sought-after and impossible-to-find album. It features the original mix preferred by Yoshimura himself, previously available only on the initial Japanese vinyl release (a limited edition remixed version of the album, with added sound effects, was released on CD in the US).

Between: Mutant Pop, Electronic Minimalism \u0026amp; Shadow Sounds of Japan 1980–1988 hovers vibe–wise between two distinct poles within Light In The Attic’s acclaimed Japan Archival Series—Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental \u0026amp; New Age Music 1980–1990 and Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eAOR\u003c\/span\u003e \u0026amp; Boogie 1976–1986. All three albums showcase recordings produced during Japan’s soaring bubble economy of the 1980s, an era in which aesthetic visions and consumerism merged. Music echoed the nation’s prosperity and with financial abundance came the luxury to dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, Somewhere Between mines the midpoint between Kankyō Ongaku’s sparkling atmospherics and Pacific Breeze’s metropolitan boogie. The compilation encompasses ambient pop, underground electronics, liminal minimalism and shadow sounds—all descriptors emphasizing the hazy nature of the nebula. Out–of–focus rhythms wear ethereal accoutrements, ballads are shrouded in static, and angular drums snake skyward on transcendent tones. From the Avant–minimalism of Mkwaju Ensemble and Yoshio Ojima, to the leftfield techno-pop of Mishio Ogawa and Noriko Miyamoto (featuring members of \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eYMO\u003c\/span\u003e), and highlights from the groundbreaking Osaka underground label Vanity Records, these are blurry constellations defying collective categorization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tracks also exist in a space of transition when the major label grip on the Japanese recording market began to give way to the escalation of independents. Thanks to the idyllic economic climate and innovations in domestically–manufactured music gear, creators on the edges were empowered to focus on satisfying their artistic visions in the open headspace of home studios. While labels like Warner Music and Nippon Columbia explored new sounds through traditional channels, it was possible for Vanity, Balcony and other indie labels, not to mention self–released artists like Ojima and Naoki Asai, to publish their work via affordable media such as cassettes, 7\" vinyl, and flexi–discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpertly curated by Yosuke Kitazawa and Mark “Frosty” McNeill (dublab), Somewhere Between is a collection of music, much of it released for the first time outside Japan, that is bound more by energetic vibration than shared history, genre or scene. They are the sounds of transition and searching—a celebration of the freedom found in floating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The track “Days Man” by Yoshio Ojima is only available on the LP and

Enlivening their sound with sitars, percussive drums, theremins, wind instruments and ethereal vocals, the band manages to sound powerfully spacious and lazily serene all at once. Their songs can be light as air, or heavy as earth. Many evolve out of intense experiences of engagement with the natural world. The album’s first track, “Can You Imagine Nothing?” was written over a night spent jamming on a suspended footbridge in remote mountains. As the song progressed the bridge began to sway, making band members feel as though they were floating weightless in midair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKikagaku Moyo started in the summer of 2012 busking on the streets of Tokyo. Though the band started as a free music collective, it quickly evolved into a tight group of multi-instrumentalists. Kikagaku Moyo call their sound psychedelicic because it encompasses a broad spectrum of influence. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKikagaku Moyo's first self-titled album reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginally released by Cosmic Eye Records in Sep 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eElements of classical Indian music, krautrock, traditional folk, and 70s rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]GGB-013[[Artist]]Kikagaku Moyo\/幾何学模様\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guruguru Brain","offers":[{"title":"Kikagaku Moyo \/ Vinyl \/ LP Black","offer_id":43959644520693,"sku":"GGB-013","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kikagaku Moyo \/ CD \/ CD","offer_id":43959644553461,"sku":"GGB-13CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/tmp_2F1519070593368-k6wx3poxqe-e09cfade6d7f78ef1e6a3539dca09f71_2Fa0389363479_10.jpg?v=1690524841"},{"product_id":"mignonne","title":"Mignonne","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Mignonne” is Taeko Onuki’s 3rd album released in 1978, which was the follow-up to her masterpiece “Sun Shower”(1977).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer long time collaborators from Tin Pan Alley continued to collaborate with her for this album.
