   Sake & Tears #8

   The second instalment of an unofficial two-parter, Episode 8 continues to survey the glorious sounds of Showa Kayo, laying siege to a an extensive haul of 7 inches acquired over the summer months. We’re clocking nearly 40 individual songs. We have show staples like Yujiro Ishihara, Keiko Fuji, Shinichi Mori making return appearances, including a rare super low-key alternative edition of Tetsuya Watari’s ‘Tokyo Drifter’, but the meat of this month’s show is designated for the under appreciated stars of the Showa Kayo world. We have some stirring roots rock via Akiko Wada, some harrowing, super moody Kayo from doomed songstress Hiroko Tomo and two lesser-known cuts from Reiko Ike’s ‘porno-groove’ masterpiece ‘World of Ecstasy’, which caused a stir on its release in 1971, in no small part due to it’s x-rated front cover. There are also haunted lounge versions of two well-known Kayo standards by glamorous model and actress Ako Midorikawa, an opulent, unrequited love ballad by golden voiced Kazuo Funaki and a strangely bewitching and certified ear-worm by Yumiko Kokonoe. We even have a back to back comparison of Tomio Umezawa’s most well known tune, a Led Zep-referencing power ballad and some New Romantic bargain bin gold from boy band ‘Safety Zone’ and a silky, 80's funk ballad from starlet Yuri Honma. There’s even a ghostly, rare concert rendition of show tune and big band singer Yoko Kishi's most famous song ‘Two Stars’, which has been reduced to a funeral ballad and sounds like a stray Nico live cut from the late 80’s. All this amongst the usual late-night whiskey nursers you’d expect. Minimal narration on this month’s edition to allow you to plumb the bargain bin depths, uninterrupted. Full Track List Below: 1.    欧陽菲菲 - 雨のヨコハマ Ouyang Fei Fei – Rainy Yokohama 2.    本間由里 – こんな夜は Yuri Honma – Such A Night 3.    美川憲一 - 一番列車の女 Kenichi Mikawa – The Woman on the First Train 4.    和田アキ子 – 放浪(さすらい)・ヨコスカ Akiko Wada – Wandering/Yokosuka 5.    和田アキ子* – 流れ星 Akiko Wada – Shooting Star 6.    吉村繪梨子 - 逢う時はいつも Eriko Yoshimura – Whenever I Meet You 7.    九重佑三子 – くちづけからもう一度 Yumiko Kokonoe – Kissing You Again 8.    渡るり子 – どろんこブルース Ruriko Watari – Doronko Blues 9.    渡 哲也 – 東京流れ者 Tetsuya Watari – Tokyo Drifter (Alternate Slower Version) 10. アン真理子 - 恋のプリンセス Mariko Ann – Princess of Love 11. 舟木一夫 - 赤坂の夜は更けて Kazuo Funaki – Late Night In Akasaka 12. 森進一 – 年上の女 Shinichi Mori – The Older Woman 13. 池玲子 - 私という女 Reiko Ike – A Woman Named 14. 池玲子 - 愛のきずな Reiko Ike - Bonds of Love 15. 近藤正臣 - そんな女の子だから Masaomi Kondō - Because of the Girl 16. 青山和子 - 夢を下さい Kazuko Aoyama – Please Give Me A Dream 17. 丸山圭子 – どうぞこのまま Keiko Maruyama – Please Leave Things As They Are 18. 野路由紀子 – 三つの涙 Yukiko Noji – Three Tears 19. 大木英夫 & 津山洋子 - 新宿そだち Hideo Oki & Yoko Tsuyama – Shinjuku Raised 20. 園 まり - 淋しかったの Mari Sono – I was Lonely 21. 泉ちどり– 緋ざくら仁義 Izumi Chidori - Hitoshi Scarlet Sakura 22. 津田耕次 – 河内遊侠伝 Koji Tsuda – Kawachi Yuuden 23. 石原裕次郎 - 忘れるものか Yuji Ishihara – What To Forget 24. 緑川アコ - カスバの女 Ako Midorikawa – Kasabah Woman 25. 緑川アコ - 夢は夜ひらく Ako Midorikawa – Dreams Open at Night 26. 青山ミチ - 俺のブルース Michi Aoyama – My Blues 27. 勝彩也 - 恋あざみ Aya Katsu – Koi Azami 28. 辺見マリ - 経験 - 辺見マリ Mari Henmi – Experience 29. 佳川ヨコ - 女だからといって Yoko Kagawa – Just Because She’s a Woman 30. 朋ひろこ - 女のなみだ Hiroko Tomo – It’a Woman’s Name 31. 朋ひろこ - 涙かれて Hiroko Tomo – Tears 32. 城卓矢 – なぐりとばして別れようか Takuya Jo - Let's skip it and say goodbye 33. 鮎川いずみ - 冬の花 Izumi Ayukawa – Winter Flowers 34. 安全地帯 - Yのテンション Safety Zone – Y Tension 35. 梅沢富美男 - 夢芝居 Tomio Umezawa – Yume Shibai 36. 森昌子 - 夢芝居 Masako mori – Yume Shibai 37. 岸洋子 - 二人の星 Yoko Kishi – Two Stars (Rare Live version)

   Sake & Tears #7

   Episode 7 sees a firm return to the glorious realms of Showa Kayo with nearly 2 hours of back-to-back gold from the Tokyo bargain bins. We have stand-out singles from gravelly voiced enka hardman Koji Tsuda, a ghostly prairie ballad by Tokiko Kato, a gorgeously gloomy 90’s love song by Mariya Takeuchi and a dramatic miniature masterpiece by Chiemi Eri, one of the best to every do it. Comparison tunes are back in the fold and you’ll be able to pick you favourite version of ‘Hibotan Bakuto’ sung by both chambara film star Junko Fuji and show regular Mina Aoe as well and two interpretations of ‘Ginza Blues’, with the original sung by Frank Nagai & Kazuko Matsuo. We also have some laconic lounge tunes by the delicately voiced Keiko Saijo, fist clenching enka by Yakuza film bit part actor Takuzo Kawatani and a run of taste testing 80’s audaciousness from Kenji Niinuma, Down Town Boogie Woogie Band and Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, closing the show with two very special low-key songs from Japan’s fertile experimental music scene.

   With over 70 tracks and a suitably immersive run time of well over three hours, episode 6 of Sake & Tears is another special, this time focusing on the fertile ground of Japanese film and TV soundtracks. Featuring carefully selected audio from long running weekly Samurai action shows, coming of age dramas, art-house curiosities and a predictably heavy focus on all things crime, this edition runs from nocturnal jazz, gorgeous 90’s ambience, the odd 80's fist clencher and deep into gritty 70’s funk. We have killer cuts from the filmographies of legendary Japanese composers like Kenji Kawai, Joe Hisashi, Shigeru Umebeyashi and Masaaki Hirao with lesser-known work from Daisuke Kume, Chuji Kinoshita and jazz bassist Osamu Shiomura, finishing the show with startling and beautiful rare composition form the incomparable and peerless giant of Japanese film, Toru Takemitsu. 1.-4. – Akihiko Takashima – The Beast Must Die (1980) - AX-7286-AX 5.-10. - Toshiro Mayuzumi – The Beast Must Die (1959) - FJSP330 11.-14. - Shigeru Umebayashi – Let Him Rest In Peace - C28A0412 15.-16. – Daisuke Kume- Violent Cop - CINK-46 17.-20. – Joe Hisaishi – Kid’s Return - PROS-7036 21.-24 – Osamu Shiomura – Death’s In Tokimeki - 20MX 1162 25.-28. - Masaaki Ohmura – “You Gotta Chance” - SM25-5413 29.-32. – Kenji Kawai – Patlabor 2 - WRWTFWW048LTD 33.-36. – Chuji Kinoshita – My Son!

   Making up for the delays between shows, this month's edition is another bumper episode, featuring multiple tracks from screen legends Tetsuya Watari and Yujiro Ishihara, Avant-pop duo Ippu-Do, doomed ballader Hako Yamasaki, Argentinian folk singer Graceila Susana and Showa Kayo starlet Aki Yashiro. We also have the long overdue appearance of the iconic Maki Asakawa, who reinvented what Showa Kayo could do with a series of delicate and introspective albums in the 70's, blending folk, jazz and American blues into bewitching nocturnal cocktail built around her trademark smoky vocals. This show premieres two songs from her recently reissued album 'American Night', which saw Maki move her signature sound into the realms of urban, late night funk. Also on the show we have singles from the Japanese James Dean, Keiichiro Akagi, Cop and Samurai film star Ryotaro Sugi, avant-garde renaissance man Toshinori Kondo, psych-blues songstress Lily and returning hits from Tamaki Sawa, Keiko Fuji, Sachiko Nishida and Midori Sasa.
