Sake & Tears #8
<p>T<span>he 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</span>.

Sake & Tears #7
<p>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.

Sake & Tears #6 - Soundtrack Special
<p>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.</p><p>1.-4. – Akihiko Takashima – The Beast Must Die (1980) - AX-7286-AX</p><p>5.-10. - Toshiro Mayuzumi – The Beast Must Die (1959) - FJSP330</p><p>11.-14. - Shigeru Umebayashi – Let Him Rest In Peace - C28A0412</p><p>15.-16. – Daisuke Kume- Violent Cop - CINK-46</p><p>17.-20. – Joe Hisaishi – Kid’s Return - PROS-7036</p><p>21.-24 – Osamu Shiomura – Death’s In Tokimeki - 20MX 1162</p><p>25.-28. - Masaaki Ohmura – “You Gotta Chance” - SM25-5413</p><p>29.-32. – Kenji Kawai – Patlabor 2 - WRWTFWW048LTD</p><p>33.-36. – Chuji Kinoshita – My Son!
