From Tsugaru, the birthplace of Kazuki Tomokawa and Kan Mikami, to Osorezan, Itako, Nebuta, Kesho Jizo... Mutsu's Orpheus (minstrel) Furukawa Mibu, who sings about a magical institution to connect this world to the next, left this superb work in 1978! Shocking analogue LP reissue!
Mibu, who is also a poet, deceives the dead in order to live the memory of his younger brother (Mibu), who died at the age of three. The song becomes a prayer and a cry, dancing wildly in this world and being sucked into the other world. Fringe music that is too intense. Because it is analogue, it also revives the soul. An extraordinary masterpiece that is too good to be left in the dark and was selected as one of the ‘New Masterpieces of Japan 1970-89’ in the November 2011 issue of RECOLORES! A fantastic album produced in 1978 and distributed only on self-produced vinyl, finally reissued!
Includes a 20-page booklet ‘Mibu: Tsugaru no Kaze to Duchi e’ (To the Wind and Soil of Tsugaru).
