While stumbling upon him accidentally, I've become quite fond of Sakiya's work. While I do feel it pales in comparison to other artist of a similar style and sound, there is something undeniably great about his sound. In 1985, Sakiya started work as a composer/producer and then began his own individual musical pursuits in 1987, releasing "Difference". Difference and Realism are fantastic albums and if you are a fan of Toshiki Kadomatsu, Chikuzen Satou, or the genres those gentlemen perform, please check this artist out! Sakiya continues to release his music while writing music for other artists, television and film and I'm happy to have found a handful of his early albums to share with you all. Enjoy!

thanks
Thank you VERY much for these!!
Glad to do so! Be on the look out for three more from him!
Thank you very much for great and rare music!!! Your blog is really amazing :) Thanks to you I became quite a fan of Sakiya-san! Also, I want to ask you if you can give me your permission to upload some of Kenjiro's albums to my YouTube channel in the future. Of course, I will mention your blog in the description of videos or only your name (Mr. Z in the worst case) if you don't want publicity. Onegai? :)
Lynx, I have no problem with you doing that but watch out for the youtube police haha. It's getting harder to do this for many reasons but if it weren't for blogs and youtube I would not have purchased as much music as I have. Thanks for the comment and I hope you read this response. Dozo! =D
Yossha! I was waiting for your response, thank you kindly :D btw, the channel that had Sakiya-san's 夏の午后 among other things has just been closed courtesy of RIAJ :( Still, in my short experience, if you upload only old music and avoid high-profile artists, then you're pretty much safe :) Yeah, I agree with you, I just wish those obscure old Japanese CDs were more accessible to folks outside Japan... Do you buy them from online auctions? Recently I checked out an obscure city pop album and found out that the costs of shipping via a third party (the only option for that CD) exceed the CD's price. As I live in EU, I think that those shipping costs aren't even final ;)
