Posts coming in 2013

Happy holidays to all! I'd like to apologize for my abscene over that last two months. It's been hectic and unfortunately posting has had to take a back seat. To add, I havent had a steady internet connection in that time frame as well. However, there will be plenty coming soon and a lot of new goodies as well! Look out for requests and albums from:
Keizo Nakanishi (5 albums)
Kohmi Hirose
Megumi Hayashibara
Sing Like Talking
Yasushi Nakanishi
Yumi Tanimura

plus many more!

I will also look into the issue of links not working. As far as I know, all the links are working. None of my files have been deleted and I've gone onto my site with other ip address and the links work as well. However, I will try my best to figure out the issue. THANK YOU again to everyone and have a great new year!

Takako Okamura - After Tone II

Sorry for the delay everyone, this past Saturday I underwent surgery and I am feeling slightly better today. I have posted the requests that have made over the last few weeks and this greatest hits album from Takako Okamura. Okamura is an artist I've only recently gotten into and I am quite enjoying her music. Okamura was one half of the singing duo Amin in the early 80's, known for their hit song "待つわ". The duo was short lived until a recent reformation, but Okamura went on to have a successful solo career throughout the 80's and 90's. After Tone II is the second installment of hits by Okamura in the 80's and features 14 tracks. Hopefully I will heal up soon and be able to post more of the albums I have in stored on the web. Enjoy!

Ken Muramatsu: カレンダ ~ぶどう畑のぶどう作り~

Here's a little something for JJ's crowd. Not quite what I was expecting after hearing "STILL LIFE DONUTS" & "Blue+" but this album does have a charm to it. The entire album is completely stripped, just Muramatsu and his Steinway, and features 12 jazzy/new age tracks with all but two featuring vocal accompaniment that harmonizes with the piano. The two without vocals are my personal favorites particularly track 12. Fans and those alike give it a listen but if you are expecting his jazz fusion sound you may be caught off guard a little like I was. Enjoy! By the way google....still hating the update!













1. ぶどう色のときめき~1月
2. 野こぶしの木~2月
3. れんげ草~3月
4. 花まつり~4月
5. 海につづく小径~5月
6. ジャコウアゲハの動揺~6月

Lee Sun Hee (이선희) - Dream of Ruby & My Life

Sadly these are the last two from Lee Sun Hee for the small group of you that have been following these posts. I hope you all have been enjoying these albums! I'd like to apologize for the quality of "Dream of Ruby", the rip has some minor issues but not enough where you can't enjoy the album. I'm not one of the guys that complains when things aren't in overly perfect quality, but to each their own and that's probably while my blog doesn't get as many followers as others. I love music and I am just happy to hear albums that I would have never heard otherwise. Well enough with the complaining, I hope you all enjoy and if anyone happens to own her 13th and 14th albums, I'd really appreciate them! Enjoy! Also a special thank you to Knightmare SM for nearly all of the youtube videos of the songs!
