Emerging during the early stages of the recording industry in Japan, the ryukoka style adopted western classical, blues & jazz elements into traditional and classical Japanese music. This collection of 1920s & 30s ryukoka recordings follows on from the Kouta Katsutaro tape we put out a couple of years back, and further captures the hauntingly unique sound of a cultural merging that was starting to reflect itself via popular song, ahead of the widespread influence of western pop music during post-war US occupation.

Tracklist:

  1. Akemi's Poems
  2. Longing for the Shadow
  3. Sad Gull
  4. Please Forgive Me
  5. If You Go Down the Tenryu
  6. Cosmos Elegy
  7. Tokyo Daughter
  8. Skyscraper
