Vol. 2 (STUDIOMUL ': ,: 006CD/LP, 2018) focused more on '80s jazz fusion, but the latest :, : installment, Vol. 3, picks up where Vol. 1 (STUDIOMUL 001CD/LP, : :' 2018) left off, bringing together forgotten soul, disco, and ': ,: new wave gems. :, : : :' The compilation opens with Japanese rare groove classic "More ': ,: Sexy," a provocative song by Yoko Hatanaka. "Kimi No Yume," from :, : the album Yume No Yonbai (1984) by Masumi Hara, is one of the : :' best Balearic acid folk songs to come from Japan. "Silhouette ': ,: Call" is an electric bossanova track in the vein of Antena, from :, : a rare album called Octopussy (1982) by Yuki Nakayamate, a : :' singer-songwriter who worked with Motoharu Sano. "Theme Of High ': ,: School Student" is a dubby cut featured in the Japanese film :, : Kougen Ni Ressha Ga Hashitta (1984), written by Atsuo Fujimoto : :' (Colored Music), one of the key artists in the recent wave of ': ,: global interest in Japanese music. :, : : :' "Get To Paradise" is a stone-cold funk jam by Mari Kaneko, who ': ,: was known as the Janis Joplin of Shimokitazawa. Following that :, : is one of Japan's greatest new wave disco tracks, "Hannya", : :' taken from Tomoko Aran's popular third album Fuyu-Kukan (1983) ': ,: produced by Masatoshi Nishimura, who was part of Friends Of :, : Earth with Haruomi Hosono. Masako Miyazaki, whose rendition of : :' Seawind's "He Loves You" is a fan favorite, puts her own spin ': ,: on Earth, Wind & Fire's "Fantasy," singing in her accent-heavy :, : English, giving the song an undeniable character. : :' ': ,: "Watashi No Koukoku" is a certified disco-boogie classic by :, : Junko Sakurada. The Brazilian-esque jazz fusion, "Sunshine : :' Bright On Me" is by fusion group Kangaroo, who were often ': ,: billed as "the japanese Shakatak". "Stranger's Night" is a :, : synth-pop number by Maiko Okamoto, which bears a suspicious : :' resemblance to Rah Band's "The Shadow Of Your Love". ': ,: Electro-pop disco "Singing Lady", off the sole album by The Fad :, : sounds like something Giorgio Moroder could've cooked up. : :' ': ,: "Magic Eyes" is a disco anthem recorded by Tetsuji Hayashi's :, : disco project, The Eastern Gang. Following that is Japanese soul : :' gem "Crazy Baby," found on a rare 7" entitled Minato No Soul by ': ,: Rinda Yamamoto also composed and arranged by Tetsuji Hayashi. :, : Closing out this collection of 14 Japanese rare groove goodies : :' is "I'm In Love", a bittersweet mellow dance number by Tomoko ': ,: Aran.ö :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
