Title: Oldskool Japanese Music Thread (1920's-1980's)
Post by: ~Dan~ on October 15, 2008, 04:53:09 PM
Tenkei's radio show last night made me remember I've got a bunch of old Japanese music so I thought I'd make a thread.
I put "1920's-1960's" but if anyone has anything older please post!  Also there's so much stuff from the 70's/80's that they should probably have their own seperate thread but that shouldn't stop people posting it here, the dates don't really matter.

Unfortunately all these batches of songs are 32kbps/22khz/mono but don't let that put you off, it's probably comparable to listening to them on the old 78's. :lol:  After I've posted these I have some albums at decent bitrates that I can post. :)

I might as well post this here too.  This is the oldest Japanese video I've found.

Kasagi Shizuko - Tokyo Bugi Ugi (1947)
Code: [Select]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V88vB5hBWyg(This one is blocked from embedding (it embeds but says not available when you try and play) so copy and paste the link to a new window.  I had to use code tags to stop it embedding, is there a better way? I couldn't even make it a clickable link, the darn thing kept embedding whatever I did.)

There's also this.  It starts with the same Tokyo Bugi Ugi clip but the 2nd half is Kasagi Shizuko - Jungle Boogie (a scene from the Kurosawa Akira movie "Drunken Angel", 1948).

So, I had no idea that Wada Akiko used to have a voice like that.  She was also quite the beauty  :inlove:

I don't know if you do any requests, but I'd love to hear more of her older stuff if you have any.

Hi Dan, hi everyone

I just have to say thank you, thank you, thank you (!) for making these
oldies available.  Back in February, after listening to some Peanuts albums,
I started listening to whatever jpop and enka music I could find - and in short
order found this site with your posts.  I've been on a tear ever since.  I haven't
been able to get enough - these Japanese oldies are a new world for me and
there is just so much to explore (and far more than I could afford to shell out). 
Dan, I think you are among the few who really attempt to get these tunes out
to the fans.

A few months ago, I had no idea who Misori Hibari, Sayuri Ishikawa, Momoe
Yamaguchi, Mori Masako, Ishida Ayumi, Judy Ongg (Teresa Teng!), etc., etc., 
etc., were.  You can imagine what its been like trying to process So Much
in such a short time - yet I'm having a blast (well, uh, driving my wife up a wall
too, heh). 

Dan - you da Man!   

And I am so kickin' it old-skool

Thanks for the praise, I'm just glad someone likes them.  Yes, it seems not many people listen to the old stuff and it's really hard finding anyone who's enthusiastic about it.  If you look on youtube you'll find a wealth of material, just search by their names (in Japanese often gives better results, but try both) and you'll find many videos.  Also look at the persons username, if you find someone who's uploaded several videos, click on their name and look at what videos they've uploaded.  I do that, then just look at the thumbnails and download all the b&w videos as I know they're the old ones!  (keepvid.com lets you download the videos from youtube and dailymotion as higher quality mp4 files.)
There's one guy called subpop who's the absolute king of Momoe videos, you'll find his name cropping up on all sorts of video sites across the net, but he deletes his youtube page every few months so download it or it's gone.
Watching the old videos I'm amused that with lots of things that we've seen with Hello! Project has all been done before - Sports festivals, Neoki (Idols being surprised & woken up in their beds), the fans chanting during the songs (The Momoe wota with their little megaphones! :lol:), the whole audition/voice training/etc process.

I've got some more oldies albums, I'll upload some more in the coming days/weeks.
If anyone else has anything to contribute to this thread then please do.  I'd love to hear an album by Jackie Yoshikawa & Blue Comets.  I love their song Blue Chateau (and they had the same keyboard sound as H!P act twe'lv, which is probably because they used the exact same make of keyboard.)

Dan, you are unstoppable -
I can't believe all the goodness  :shocked

Its great that you include extras like cover art and playlists
for all of these releases.   
 
I think I should change my name, because I'm a newbie and
'enkafan' can't really be applied to a newcomer like me -
though I do tend to like several genres from the past, including
early American country blues, 1920s jazz and swing from the 1950s.
Of course, its relatively easy and inexpensive to get any of that.
 
I grew up watching a lot of samura movies because my dad was
an Akira Kurasawa fan.  I don't speak Japanese but the language
is comfortable to my ears.  I guess its not to surprising that
I like the sounds of Enka as well as more modern 'Jpop (especially if
its from the 1960s and 70s - it would be unconscionable to
make any requests considering how very much you've provided,
but I will keep visiting here in case anything else from those eras
shows up).  Anyway, I'm listening to these files almost every day -
next time I post I'll try to mentions ome of my favs.
Be well!

60's & 70's?  Well, I think the most recent one from this collection is from 1965.  Thanks must also go to a guy called Vaqueteo who posted  these on a newsgroup.  I think I mentioned earlier, he had a collection of cassettes and cd's but was reluctant to post them with no song titles so he sent me scans of the covers and I was able to help do the romaji and then he posted them.

Amazing, Dan - Domo Arigato!

As I listen and try to learn about Enka, many questions arise.  I've read that
women singers have typically enjoyed greater popularity.  It seems this is true
to an extent, but I notice that many of the releases you have posted have a
at least a 50-50 mix of male singers (if not more).  I wonder if it is because
male singers were more popular during the 40s and 50s? 
 
There's a ton to go through, but I'm really liking "Nankoku No Yoru" by Mishima
Toshio (off the Seiki ni Tsutaetai Vol. 3) ~ its just an awesome song I just can't
get enough of! :yep:

I felt the same when I heard Suizenji Kiyoko's "Arigatou no Uta" (from a TV & radio themes collection I'll post soonish). After listening to the album I put that song on repeat and couldn't stop listening to it, then went and found a load of her stuff on youtube.

Interesting you should mention her, I've actually watched some of the
video's of Suizenji Kiyoko on youtube - I was immidiately struck by her
stage personna - very lively and kind of doing her own thing.

GJ Dan! I totally gotta download some of that 60s & 70s stuff :yep:

Hi Dan, hi everyone
Welcome to JPH!P, EnkaFan! :welcome

I gotta admit that I'm pretty interested in enka thanks to the wonderful Meiko Kaji but I don't really know where to start. You guys have any recommendations?

BTW! If y'all wanna share/discuss contemporary enka you can do it here: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18960.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=18960.0) 8)
Title: Re: Oldskool Japanese Music Thread (1920's-1960's)
Post by: EnkaFan on April 26, 2009, 09:16:55 PM
Thanks for the welcome!

Over the past several months, I've grown fond of
many Enka & Jpop performers.  I'm not exactly sure why
I've taken to it so much (particularly the female singers -
those kimonos are too sexy I guess  :wub:).


As I've looked around I've noticed a few sites that
have LOADS of downloadable Enka.  You may of
course have heard of several of these artists, but
if anyone asks me, these names come to mind.

Enka performers I really like:
 
Sayuri Ishikawa
Aki Yashiro
Chiyoko Shimakura
Toshimi Tagawa
of course, Keiko Fuji
(I'm not as huge on Misora Hibari
as so many are, but out of respect
I should mention her)

Some great pop vocalists (some have
done Enka) that I really like include:

Peanuts
Momoe Yamaguchi
Teresa Teng (the late but ever great Taiwanese singer)
Ayumi Ishida
Kayoki Moriyama
Mayumi Itsuwa
Yuki Saori
Naomi Sagara

Some sites where you can listen and/or download
include Beemp3.com and video4viet.com.  Blogs
are great sources too.  I also joined mp3panda.com
because they have some some of the above-mentioned
singers.

Of course, the easiest and most costly option is
buying the CDs outright (which can be a tad expensive).
Now Dan has put a "huge" amount of music up here and
it's the best thing going for anyone who wants to sample
the Enka and Jpop of the 20s through the 70s.

Speaking of blogs with juicy mp3s, I found the following site yesterday.
Its not Enka, and aside from TT's songs these are 60s music tracks
(from China, Taiwan?) and well worth a listen!  Looks to be about
8 tracks   :twothumbs

http://gaaak.blogspot.com/2006/05/asian-delights_22.html (http://gaaak.blogspot.com/2006/05/asian-delights_22.html)

Teresa Teng - High Green Mountain (aka Girl of Ah Li Shan)
Teresa Teng - Last Night in My Dreams
Rita Chao & The Quests - Love is Me, Love is You
Doris and the Sandboys - (unknown title)
Chan Pao Chu - She Wants to Get Marry
Vampires - Han Yu Qu (Chilling Rain Song)
Unknown artists - It Never Rains in Southern California
Stevie Loraine and the Claansmen - You Always Say

Aside from Teng, I don't know these acts, so I'll be looking
around for some info on them.  If anyone gets to listen,
please post your thoughts.


PS. Since originally posting this I found a few other sites with
what appears to be the same material.  However, while I trust the
above-mentioned site, at least one other had spy-ware,
so PLEASE tread with caution - I know what its like to get
viruses, etc.!

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm gonna have to check out all those artists as I haven't heard their music before. I don't have any old Japanese music besides some "Pinky Violence" movie music so I definitely need to add some kick ass enka to my music library :)

Takada Mizue - Best Collection

(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/492/coverdkq.jpg)

Takada Mizue debuted in 1977 after becoming the 18th Grand Champion on the Fuji TV audition show "Kimi Koso Star Da!," and had several hits including "Garasuzaka" and "Watashi wa Piano." In 1985 she retired to marry the sumo wrestler Wakashimazu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakashimazu_Mutsuo). Their wedding was broadcast live on TV and had the high rating of 30.2%. Currently she and her husband run the Matsugane sumo stable.

I got this best album off of Soulseek and I recommend it to anyone interested in 70s/80s idols - Mizue has a very pretty voice.

1. Garasuzaka
2. Purple Shadow
3. Dream On Dream
4. Seishun II
5. Shiokaze no Melody
6. Komoriuta o Kikasete
7. Watashi wa Piano
8. Namida no Jiruba
9. Yume Densetsu
10. Ai no Owari ni

I totally agree - combining those two decades wouldn't be a bad idea, but
I'd especially love a thread that focused on the 1970s.
[There are some blogs out there that have TONS of 80s material (I'll post a
link later this week) - but I haven't found any that focus on the 70s and
there are so many awesome artists that peaked around that time!

Petite M'Amie - Girl Friend / Baby Doll (1971)
(http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/1371/petitemamie1.jpg)
DOWNLOAD (http://sharebee.com/bf9c0e25)

Tracklist
01. Girl Friend
02. Baby Doll
03. Splendor
04. Pardon
05. Cry
06. Make-Love
07. Prologue
08. Drive
09. Coffee
10. Wine
11. Shower
12. Date-Time

The final instalment in Tiliqua’s utterly essential ‘Erotic Oriental Sunshine’ series of re-issues, ‘Girl Friend Baby Doll’ moves in a markedly different direction from its predecessors. Although still adorned by the image of an angelic and scantily clad Japanese beauty, the disc is somewhat less overtly sexual than the others, focussing more on a childlike and hushed mood; giggling and whispering rather than groaning and screaming. However the more you listen to the album with these quite peculiar, sometimes goofy vocals paired with some downright funky Euro-sleaze instrumental parts the more insane a it begins to sound. I mean, it’s erotic but it’s just not quite as blatant as say, Ike Reiko, it’s shrouded in a veil of naivity which only serves to make it that much more odd. Apparently Petite M’amie (aka nudie actress Mari Keiko) wanted the album to be much more obviously erotic but the producer was dead set on that shy girl angle, which unsurprisingly still seems to be the order of the day in Japan (vending machines selling used panties?). The truth is though, for all its odd sentiment and somewhat dubious morals this is an absolutely killer release, somewhat comparable in style to the crucial re-issues of the Finders Keepers label, with exotica production and a vibe closer associated with the French New Wave than with Japanese music from 1971.

If you google the name of the show in Japanese (日真名氏飛び出す - the kanji is in the text file within the download) you get better results.

I got both songs from youtube.  :) Lots of people upload audio and if you download the mp4 version it's 128kbps stereo, then I just convert to wav, chop off any excessive silences at the start and end and adjust the volume if necessary.  I'd romanised the 2nd track totally differently until I saw how it'd been romanised on the pic.


BTW, I think there is still interest in gettinga 70s/Kayokyoku thread

Assuming you have a photo on your hard drive, go to www.tinypic.com (http://www.tinypic.com) and select the photo and upload.  (If the photo is really big select one of the resize options from the dropdown menu so it doesn't stretch the page when you post it.)
When it uploads it gives you a link to the photo.  Choose the last one ("Direct Link for Layouts") and copy and paste it into your forum post and surround it with image tags so it looks like this
[img*]http://www.whatever.com/yourpic.jpg[/img*]
except without the stars, I only did that to stop the forum trying to display it as an image.
So you don't have to keep typing the image tags you just need to click the image icon.  When you're writing a post there's a bunch of icons above the text box where you write your post, the image one is the first one on the second row, to the left of the one showing a little pic of the world.

These are from the same site those other 32kbps files were from but these were somehow missing from the torrent I got that set from.
Files with a (P) in the name are partial files and cut out part-way through the song.

When you click your mouse in the password box it usually makes a popup, get rid of the popup then click the box again and you should be able to enter the password.  Maybe your browser is blocking java or something.  If you use a different browser try internet explorer.

I added the passwords because someone copied the links of the first few and posted them to another site prompting a lot of discussion.  I'd rather people link to the thread then it might bring some new people in or some new discussion or something.

Hi Dan,

I googled "japanese 1940 1950 1960 music" and found this thread...

Firstly, a HUUUUUUUUGE, heartfelt THANKS to you for uploading all these oldies! I'm a big oldies fan, and this means a heck of a lot to me...

Just to give you an idea, I was lucky enough to be in Tokyo in 2003 for work for a couple of weeks. I spent my spare time searching for oldies such as Kirishima Noboru's "Omoide no Enoshima" from your 1930's collection (I heard the song for the first time thanks to your post, and I must say that I was almost in tears). Every time I went to one of those large Tokyo music stores (e.g HMV Shibuya) and asked for "1950's music", they looked at me like I was from outer space! Nobody in Japan listens to oldies anymore I guess, so they certainly didn't expect a foreigner to ask for oldies! Most store didn't have anything, even the smaller music stores or the music stalls in the subways. I was quite crushed.

At last, a couple days before I left, I found a CD called "Meet The Memory" (Showa Era 35 - 40), manufactured by Victor Entertainment, Japan.

There are 20 songs on that CD, but unfortunately, I do not speak Japanese, so cannot read the artist or song names. I also have no access to a scanner. Sadly, google returns nothing when I search for "meet the memory japan music", so I've not found a picture of the CD cover. Anyway, I ripped the songs to mp3, with the highest Variable Bit Rate possible and compression for best quality. My favourite song is track 17.

I've never uploaded anything to the Internet before, but there's a first time for everything, and this thread's certainly worth the effort. I registered on this forum in order to say thanks, and also to give something back. I now share my "Meet The Memory" CD with you:

Once again, thanks Dan!

PS: By the way, would anyone know if there's a thread on Hawaiian songs somewhere in the net? Hawaiian songs seem to be big in Japan, and they're pretty cool. Thanks.

Hi Kolya,

Welcome to the forum, and glad you like the songs.

I enjoy listening to a lot of the old music, the one you uploaded is from a great period too.

A lot of the stuff I uploaded came from a newsgroup from a guy called Vaqueteo.  He also had the same problem that he had the cassettes and cd's but didn't have the names so we worked as a team, he sent me scans of the covers and I searched for the cd's on the net so I'd have the kanji so I could use a webtranslator to translate them, then I sent him the titles so he could title his files before uploading.  One thing I noticed during those times was that when you get a song by Frank Nagai, sometimes it's a man and sometimes a woman!  I figured that Frank Nagai was probably the bandleader and whoever the singer was, they were a guest vocalist.  With older music (1930's/40's) the bandleader was more important than whoever the singer was and on some old jazz records it doesn't even give the name of the singer, just the bandleader/name of band, and then says "with vocal refrain".

Thanks for the upload.  It's late and I don't wanna wake anyone but I'll enjoy listening to it tomorrow.

There's another cd from the "Meet The Memory" series just up the page.
I googled for Meet The Memory in Japanese (ミート・ザ・メモリー) and found it pretty quick.  I couldn't find a very big picture of the cover though.  I listened to 2 of the songs just to confirm I found the right one.

You know what? I've completely forgotten that I've actually got a CD by Kyu Sakamoto!  :D. See http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Best-Kyu-Sakamoto/dp/B000066ACY/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1249478312&sr=1-8 (http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Best-Kyu-Sakamoto/dp/B000066ACY/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1249478312&sr=1-8)), but there's no track listing there.

Here are the links to my CD rip (mp3 VBR). Track 2 is the famous "Sukiyaki" hit:

As a newcomer I wanted to add what I consider a beautiful cd "Canzone & chanson" by Kiyoshi Hasegawa
I was also wondering if anyone could help me find some japanese artists albums from the 90'es.. I dont speak japanese so I am not able to make proper researches on the internet..


I love the voice of Mina Aoe   does anyone have her albums to share here?

First of all I would like to thank you all guys for this amazing music thread, I started studying japanese a few motnhs ago and this stuff is really helpful since I know nothing about japanese music, so I registered just to thank you. One last thing, this probably would sound bad, but someone recommended me the album Golden Hits or something by Fuji Keiko, I already have Meiko Kaji's one and it's amazing, so if there's anybody who knows where can I download it, please let me know.
Thank you and greetings.

Thank you very much for this stuff, guys.  All downloaded :-)

This is mainly to the gentlemen who uploaded the old tracks -- would you mind if I made torrents out of these?  It'd be nice to make them available to others.  If you have any idea what the copyright on them is, that'd also help, but I wouldn't want to do it without your permission.

Also, is there any tiny chance you might have the missing tracks from especially the older albums available somewhere in VBR?

Thanks again!

Hi.
The singer is Kiyoshi Atsumi who acts Tora-San.The title of this song is ''Otoko ha tsurai yo / A man is painful''.It's same as the title of the movie.

Torrent them where you like as long as you give credit.

If anything I uploaded had a missing track that's how it came to me and that's all I have.

Post by: Saburo on December 05, 2009, 06:39:38 PM
A collection of TV & Radio themes from the 50's - 70's.
This is where I first heard Suizenji Kiyoko (Arigatou no Uta, Disc 2, track 14) and then played it on repeat for an hour because I liked it so much.

Sorry just noticed this bit just now.

I'm with you.  I'm actually old enough to remember the TV show, mostly light-hearted drama where Suizenji is married to Ishizaka Koji and all the crap they go through in life.

I recall multiple scenarios of the show: one took place in a diner and the other in a hospital (Suizenji was a nurse and Ishizaka was a doctor).  Both shows had the same, awesome theme song.

I just downloaded some of the files and I would have to say old music beats the newest ones. Nothing like it.

I'm just 23 mind you and from the Philippines. The first song I've heard was Akira Kobayashi's Guitar wo Motta Wataridori and fell in love with some of the songs. These days, music are widely diversed, but they're not in par with the music before. Infectious.

Hello all.

Thank you ~Dan~ for this awesome thread. It's like a wish coming true.

I recently begin to listen Japanese oldies, though I always have a tendency to listen old songs. I'm a fan of Wada Akiko especially. When I check my archive I found something that I like to share with you all.

First, Yumi Matsutoya (well, Yumi Arui when she wrote that songs). She has a beatiful voice, and I believe she is still big in japan.

Yumi Matsutoya Early Hits (1972-1978)  (http://www.mediafire.com/?0injmmzyzin)

My personal favorite is 雨の街を (Ame no machi wo). This song is really powerfull. (By the way there is no such album I just chose my favorite songs in a Yuming compilation)

Minagawa Osamu- Kuroneko no Tango (http://www.mediafire.com/?4azyo2zmmwq)  This song is so cute ^^. Song is from 1969 and the singer is only six years old. (Then I heard there is also an italian version of this)

Bonus:

Japanese Army Music (http://www.mediafire.com/?dmmmmx2y4mi) well, I know, even though they're old, that doesn't make them oldies, but I really enjoy listening those marching songs when I'm walking to home. (I don't want to start a historical debate and I'm familiar with the historical events of first and second world war, yet I believe every incident should be  evaluated considering their time)

I apologize if my post is somewhat off topic, and my poor English, since I'm not a native speaker.

Thank you all for once again.
(when I visit to Japan one more time I'll be sure to grab Wada Akiko albums this time)

(edit/There is a lovely enka compilation in this site (http://enterthemirror.blogbus.com/logs/46380848.html), you can check it out.

edit 2/ I don't want to do double post, those are from Kyu Sakamato's Memorial Box. My favorite is strangely "sayonara Namida-kun" ^^'. There are lovely songs though...

b.t.w. If anybody knows where I can get a specific collection of songs, either downloading or buying, then I will be thankful.
It's about Eri Chiemi - Japanese Folk Songs, this is it's cover: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9exXZZOTgag/RvUHUnzLeaI/AAAAAAAAAj4/9ZB1WZf2eUk/s400/Chiemi.jpg (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9exXZZOTgag/RvUHUnzLeaI/AAAAAAAAAj4/9ZB1WZf2eUk/s400/Chiemi.jpg)

In searching for it I probably found the same dead links as you did.  Here it is, but I had to get the audio from youtube.  It sounds ok except for track 3 which sounds like the person who uploaded it only had it as a low quality file to begin with.

Hi everyone, I recently listening this 時には母のない子のように~カルメン・マキ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C1YIEJYtu4#) like haunted. I did some search and found that singer is Karmen Maki "カルメン・マキ" and the song name is toki ni wa haha ni nai ko no yooni "時には母のない子のように" from 1969. But I can't find anything else from this singer. Does anyone know where to find her albums?

p.s. by the way whenever I post something it seems to be it's from late 60's and early 70's (which is my favorite era), I hope you don't find it out of subject since the title of the thread is Oldskool Japanese Music Thread (1920's-1960's).

Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for posting all this great music. There is a great many of us enjoying it. We play it at our Senior Crafts day every Thursday and its always a great hit. Song people haven't been able to hear since they left Japan, or memories of people remembering there parents loving "that" song, etc. It is truely great to have them all.

We were wondering if you could go back and look at Omoide No Melody 2, because the music uploaded does not match, it is much older, mid-late 40's and includes people like Kirishima Noboru.

Also, we noticed when you do the Romaji on things like "Shoji Taro" you write "Shouji Tarou". The "u" are not needed, when you read the japanese character it means to give the "o" a longer sound, not to add a "u". We just wanted to let you know you didn't need to add it to the translation, haha, it is not needed and not really translated correctly that way. And please don't take it as being rude, we just wanted to let you know.

Thanks again!

And we will try and figure out how to load stuff up ourselves.

Post by: ~Dan~ on March 19, 2010, 04:56:05 AM
Omoide no Melody 2...

Are the songs and artists totally wrong?

The way it worked was, a guy on usenet had a load of cassettes but all the titles were in Japanese so he had no clue what they were and didn't want to post them with no titles, so...  He sent me scans of the cassette covers and I sent him the titles in romaji, then he uploaded them.  He must have uploaded the wrong one or sent me the wrong scan or something.  There's nothing I can do about that now.  Since he bought them from a 2nd hand store that one might even have had the wrong cassette in the wrong case.

Quote
Also, we noticed when you do the Romaji on things like "Shoji Taro" you write "Shouji Tarou"...

I wrote it like that because in hiragana it was しょうじたろう.  There's various different methods of romanisation, Hepburn, wapuro, etc, Tōkyō vs Toukyou etc, and I get the impression nobody seems to be able to agree on a standard so I don't think one method is any less correct than any other.

Yes, the songs did not match any of the tracks on listed for Omoide No Melody Vol. 2, but that is okay, haha, we enjoyed them just the same.

I personally did not know there were many different ways to do the romaji, myself, I can't read that many characters, haha, but our temple seniors couldn't figure out why it was being done that way, even the ones who used to do translation for a living, haha. Is this a "newer" way of translation? Most of these people (and myself included) still translate the way we were talk 50-60 years ago, haha.

But we didn't want to imply that you were wrong and we didnt want to sound negative, we just wanted to try to save you some typing.

Thanks again.

That was nearly 2 years ago but I still have the guys email address, I just emailed him to ask him if he could check it to see if it has the wrong cassette in the box for that one.

Ok, he found the cassette and compared it with the version of Omoide no Melody 2 that we have and it doesn't match, so he's going to encode the cassette and soon we'll have the real Omoide no Melody 2.

Now the weird thing - he has no clue where that other set of songs came from.  He's checked his cassettes and it doesn't match any of them.  ZipperSweaters75, do you know any of the artists or song titles of the 'wrong' Omoide no Melody 2 that we have?  If I have enough information I might be able to find the details.

The best compilations I ever got for 70s J-pop/Kayokyoku were from Sony (the "Golden J-Pop" series, among others).  Other titles were of the geneirc variety ("Omoide no Hit Parade").  A lot of my fave seventies stuff came from these discs which included the best of:

Go Hiromi
Candies
Yamaguchi Momoe
Saijo Hideki
Sawada Kenji
Finger 5
Tulip
Downtown Boogie-Woogie Band

And so on.  Great karaoke stuff -- just lookit all the tunes covered by H!P.  Any particular artists you're after?

Hi,

I am a total newbie to the Japanese music scene outside more modern J-Pop and OSTs from Anime and the such but I am decently versed in Japanese culture as a whole. My Mom was born and grew up in Okinawa around the war and remembers the music of the 60s in Japan when she worked on base when she was in her twenties. I found and got her a "Best of" from the 50's but I can't seem to find anything close to a Top 100 or Top 50 of the 60's in Japan. I am looking for something similar to the Top 100 Billboard Hits in the US but for Japan.

Any help at all pointing me to an actual CD or CD set that I can get my Mom for her birthday would be much appreciated. I don't care if I have to import it but it has to be on CD so she can play it. She doesn't do well with MP3s ;)

Thanks!

No, sorry, I don't have any 70's compilations.  I seem to have concentrated on collecting the older stuff and neglected the later years.  Anyone else is free to post stuff, if they have anything.

I am also very interested in the 70's era have some records but unfortunately none of them is compilations (also most of them in the contemporary folk genre). But I especially love Morita Doji's Goodbye album. She has such beatiful and melancholic voice. That's my favourite.

Well, I'm a fan already. Yumi Arui -or Yumi Matsutoya as I knew her-, one of the first artist that make me interested in Japanese oldies. Her 雨の街を is still my favourite. Thanks for the suggestion though, I am interested to learn new artists from that era. Especially those with beatiful voices and a melancholic touch like Yumi and Morita.

Here is another one to thank you for this wonderful topic by getting registred here.
About 7 years ago, I found 2 nice 45 rpm records made in Japan. A friend of a friend identified them for me: One is Peggy Hayama, the other one is Naomi Sagara. I really fell in love with those records, especially the Hayama. Right there, I searched on the Net for them and found very little. Recently, I had another look and I found these posts!  :drool:
You don't know how happy it made me to hear new stuff from both of these ladies ! You made my Weekend!
Thank you  again !

Dan, Thank you for all the great recordings you've posted. 

I was especially interested to hear the song that you had talked about being so good that you played it on repeat for an hour! (Suizenji Kiyoko (Arigatou no Uta, Disc 2, track 14 on the "Showa Era TV & Radio Theme Song Collection")

However, the URL for Disc 2 of the "Showa Era TV & Radio Theme Song Collection" (which is listed as: http://www.mediafire.com/?h2aztonywnm (http://www.mediafire.com/?h2aztonywnm)) does not work.

Could you please provide an updated/corrected link for Disc 2 of the "Showa Era TV & Radio Theme Song Collection"?  Thanks very much! 

Thanks again for all the great music you've made available.

I listen to a lot of songs from the 70's & 80's... so even if the thread's title doesn't include those years I guess it's still ok to post here ?

Last days, I've found two interesting remakes of great classics :

Kaguyahime - Kandagawa (1973) :
神田川 : かぐや姫 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKaUVlg6z3c#)

Takuro Yoshida - Kandagawa :
神田川 by吉田拓郎 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogFEBl8Gybg#)
Awesome cover !

Judy Ongg - Miserarete (1979) :
Judy Ongg - Miserarete 魅せられて (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgTa8hkukqc#)

His Excellency Demon Kakka - Miserarete :
デーモン閣下 / 魅せられて (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1olgo59-fo#)
O__O

And now, something completely different :

Mari Iijima - 1g no shiawase :
1g no shiawase IIJIMA MARI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sVPjhduXTE#)
Mari has one very beautiful voice and is my very first crush in jpop (Macross <3).

Yeah, any oldies are ok.  The thread title was because that was the dates of the stuff I was posting, but later stuff is fine too.

Ah Kandagawa, yes that's a lovely song.  The one you posted has been deleted by youtube so I found another.  (I like the false ending on this one).

thanks to youtube poster 16BIT48KHZ- here is info from his post: Former Candies member Yoshiko Tanaka dies of breast cancer at 55
Yoshiko Tanaka, a former member of the 1970s female pop trio the Candies, died Thursday of breast cancer at a Tokyo hospital, her husband said. She was 55.
Tanaka, whose real name was Yoshiko Odate, was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late 30s and underwent surgical treatment, but the disease repeatedly returned, said Kazuo Odate, her businessman husband, who held a press conference at the hospital.
Tanaka was hospitalized last fall after falling ill. She was then temporarily discharged but was hospitalized again in February, Odate said, adding that her condition rapidly changed Thursday morning.

Hi!!  :)

Hi!

I found that the Chinese for "The Moon Of A Garden Bridge" is 花园桥之月, but when I searched for that all I found was several posts on Chinese forums, and via Google translate I read that Chinese people are also looking for the song, and they can't find it either!

There's this clip of the movie on youtube that I think includes the song...

[Extrait] Purple Butterfly #16 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdqn7HgFGWM#)

I tried searching Utako Matsushima's name in Japanese (松島詩子) on youtube and found this, someone in the comments says it sounds similar to "The Moon Of A Garden Bridge" but I think it's a different song...

One of my best friends gushes on about Ishida Ayumi (http://zdoramaagain.blogspot.com/2011/06/proof-ishida-ayumi-blue-light-yokohama.html).

Yep he's got a point, you know...

I love Ishida Ayumi, but her songs seem hard to find.

Or should I say, her official recordings are hard to find...

Someone on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/kinnsyachi2009#g/u) has been posting audio of Ishida Ayumi TV shows.  They've posted about 14 hours of stuff so far, they post 2 or 3 more files every weekend.  What's interesting is with some of them someone was taking photos off the TV screen during the original broadcast, and the photos have been added to the video as a slideshow.  (He/she also likes posting photos of their pet dog, called Ayu.)
I believe many of these performances don't exist in the TV archives so this is the only way you can see them.

This one is awesome...

Is that song a theme to an anime / movie / drama, or is that just the name of the song? its pretty awesome by the way.

I am not sure if that song by the Tempters was associated with an anime/movie/ etc.
Here is Kyoko Takada with みんな夢の中 (Minna Yume No Naka/ Everyone in My Dream) from 1969- a very pretty sounding song, but she has a lot of emotional strength in her voice for a 23 year old:

Don't let the price scare you...  Well, YES you best pass on this and put the money down instead on your first mortgage.  Crazy expensive!

Post by: jigenbakuda on September 19, 2011, 03:14:47 AM
Yea it was expensive, but that sounded like a great collection. If I had that much just laying around I'd buy it, because old school flacs are a beautiful thing... but thats hella expensive without an accompanying sextape for each idol on there...

Even with shipping and tax included thats an astronomical price... how did they figure? Sure a new big named person's cd could be like like 3000 yen+ or more... and 5 of those would add up to that price... but seriously how did they figure that number?

Off Topic, was that a japanese tv commerical or english tv commercial that was subbed?


Back on topic... take a little yamaguichi momoe since I'm here
Yamaguchi Momoe, Ihihi-Tabidachi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8plYNvu-jTY#)

I have a jewellery box (for my cufflinks and tie clips of course!) that plays this song on organelle!!! Did not know the song when I bought it... but was greatly surprised when I heard the real song.

I think it's a Nihongo commercial aimed at older expatriates living in the USA. I also saw an extended infomercial-type program that was about 15 minutes in length, having a radio DJ touting the value of the collection.

 youngdoug san, Yes, I agree, this thread is a great place to learn more about some great music from the past.
The following clip features young Osamu Minagawa, who is the youngest performer (6 years old) to have a number one single on the weekly Oricon Chart with his 1969 song "Kuroneko no Tango" (Black Cat Tango) which was a cover of an Italian song "Volevo Un Gatto Nero". He appeared on television with Yoko Kon of Pinky & The Killers when the song was a big hit. The current show in the clip lets the two meet again, many years later. Yoko Kon is still hot, and Osamu Minagawa is still kawaii, after all those years. :deco:

My fave teevee show is a great travel program called "Ii Tabi Yume Kibun." A local (premium) cable channel airs it in Hawaii subtitled. One program featured Mori Masako and Iwasaki Hiromi, two giants of the 70s.  I clipped their segment and upped to YouKnowWhere:

Never knew Mori was so close to Misora Hibari.

Dick Mine (三根徳一 / Tokuichi Mine) was a singer of  Jazz/Hawaiian/kayokyoku starting in the 30's and recorded for the next 50 years. He passed away at 82 years old in 1991.

The song "Dinah" was introduced in the musical "Kid Boots" by Eddie Cantor in 1923. Dick Mine translated the lyrics of Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young (music written by Harry Akst) and sang on this December 1934 release:

Another great find of course.That cm mentioned the cd is good practice for karaoke, which raises a question for me. If anyone could make a top 20 oldies karaoke list what would be on it? I don't have the experience. But anyone know karaoke songs that just set the average old school j-lovers heart a flame, and gets everyone into the song?

Good question. Depends on your time frame, I suppose. Twenty years? Thirty years?

My forte is 1970s kayokyoku/J-pop so I've had good luck with "Yozora" by Itsuki Hiroshi, "Yoroshiku Aishuu" by Go Hiromi, "Bus Stop" by Taira Koji.  For the gals, "Ii Hi Tabidachi" by Yamaguchi Momoe remains a HUGE song at karaoke, along with the ubiquitous "Kawa no Nagare no You ni" by Misora Hibari.

Yes, that's the password I used.
I checked the site and you have to do a captcha first - typing the 2 random-messed-up words it gives you.  Then you type the password after you've done that.  Don't mistake the captcha for the password.

久美かおり くちづけが怖い {With thanks to old2008music1 }

I am so in love with this song... but my googling has lead me to dead ends. Could someone offer assistance in finding her music? She appears to be rare-ish online and she only did a handful of songs, but 60's j-music was pro...

For anyone who cares to help I was looking for her albums

フラワー・ポップス・シリーズ(3) 星のプリンス

which had the track listing of

1. 星のプリンス(久美かおり&ザ・タイガース)
2. くちづけが怖い
3. 夜明けの海
4. 今日から私は
5. 草の鏡
6. 愛のディンガリン
7. 愛の小鳥
8. 小さな鳩
9. 髪がゆれている(デュエット)
10. 髪がゆれている(二重唱ヴァージョン)
11. ワンサカ娘

Just throwing it out there for those more adept at j-googling than I.

久美かおり the song you posted from her is awesome.  You are right it is hard to find her music.  I was able to find the song くちづけが怖い , but only for another artist who covered it in the 70s.  >__<  I guess I will have to turn the video into an mp3.  I am used to having trouble finding old enka artists though....

Well I will just post the youtube rips then... These have been incorrectly tagged (by me) as coming from the hoshi no prince cd, even though, they are clearly from the youtubez. But I must mention that in exception of "hana ni naritai?" all of the song to actually appear on that cd. Uhm, this is merely for those that were interested in koari and wanted to save themselves trips to youtube.

Hi Cyuha,

I do not know how to download CD's or DVD's into torrent sites (if that is the correct name), but perhaps you can find Folk Crusaders at online music sales, such as Amazon.
Here is English page of Amazon Japan:  http://www.amazon.co.jp/In-English/b/ref=topnav_switchLang?ie=UTF8&node=1094656 (http://www.amazon.co.jp/In-English/b/ref=topnav_switchLang?ie=UTF8&node=1094656)

I recently purchased (in a music shop) a 2010 Best of Folk Crusaders CD. Here is the title and detail found on the back of the CD case:
Title: ザ・フォーク・クルセダーズ|スーパー・ベスト
(The Folk Crusaders / Super Best)
IVY Records QIAG-11041
2010 EMI Music Japan Inc. STEREO/MONO*/DUO JASCRAC MADE IN JAPAN 10-10-8
Maybe you can try to search online with the Japanese Title, or work with music store where you shop, and see if they know how to order foreign titles?

Here is one of the songs (below is a live version from a different CD) that is included in the Super Best CD 戦争は知らない / Sensou wa Shiranai (I Don't Know War):

The Spiders were part of the "Group Sound" era, which was the Japanese music direction inspired, in part, by the emergence of the Beatles and other rock groups.
In the U.S. the British influence on American pop was referred to by some as  "The British Invasion"
This song by The Spiders is called あの時君は若かった / Ano Toki Kimi wa Wakakatta / You Were Young at That Time (or sumpin' like that)

Hi Cyuha,

Perhaps a forwarding company like this:

http://www.tenso.com/en/ (http://www.tenso.com/en/)

meaning if you could find the items that you want on an online service like Amazon Japan or Tsutaya online, you could then have Tenso forward it to you?

But I have never used such a service, so cannot say if it is good service or not.

Meanwhile back to the "Group Sound" era, and hear are "The Tigers" ザ・タイガース with the song  "Monariza no Hohoemi"/モナリザの微笑 / Mona Lisa's Smile/ :

I've had it suggested that the artist is either 'Terugiku' or Masako Kawada - though it sounds different from the recordings that I have heard from Masako Kawada. Any suggestions or ideas?

There is a CM playing right now with Actress Ayame Gouriki for au (mobile phone) that uses a very nice tune. I was going crazy trying to find the original tune, which turned out to be "Le Marchand de Bonheur", by a vocal group from Lyon, France called Les Compagnons de la chanson.

The song topped the French pop charts in the first 6 weeks of 1960.

But how did this tune end up in a CM in Japan in 2012? Because of 芦野 宏  Hiroshi Ashino, a singer in Japan who dedicated his life to bringing French "chanson" to Japan. Ashino san, who passed away in February, 2012, at the age of 87,  appeared on NHK's ''Kohaku Uta Gassen" 10 straight times in the 50's and 60's.

His version of "Le Marchand de Bonheur" (The Merchant of Happiness) came out a few months after the original hit,
and was called 幸福を売る男 /Kofuku o Uru Otoko (The Happiness Selling Man)

Released in 1981, 'Kotoba ni Dekinai' (Words Don't Come Out) isn't quite sixties, but Off Course is a group from the 60's and 70's, so this song fits in to the Old School. Group leader Kazumasa Oda really had some trouble getting the words out during this 1982 Budokan live performance, but that is one of the things that makes live performances very special.............

I know we talked about ishida ayumi a while back, but this is the first time I saw her in motion... oh my god... I kept muttering kawaii to myself. You see that skirt!? Thats swag in a bottle. This is a sexy classy chick. I am so in love with her, they sure don't make idols like they used to. That hand choreography... thats old school baby.

Edit:

Quick question for anyone who knows... Just when did idol chanting start? Cause these dudes are killing it in this vid, like they are pros... whistles and everything. And this was 84... that was when I was born! Looks like that is not just a current thing, its old school. Anyone can offer a bit of a history lesson on the idol chanting / cheering as seen in this vid?

I don't know when it started, but I can go earlier than 1984 - I've heard chanting in Pink Lady vids from around 1977,  and Yamaguchi Momoe vids from 1975.  Occasionally you get a shot of the people chanting and they're wearing matching headbands, and they have little plastic megaphones.

EDIT:

Yamaguchi Momoe - Natsu Hiraku Seishun (Yoru no Hit Studio, 1975.07.28)

This is one of the earliest examples of Momoe fan chanting I know of (I think).  From Yoru no Hit Studio back when the show had a studio audience (the show changed slightly in March/April 1976, and shows from after that have no studio audience although there's always plenty of guests to make things look busy.)
Quite a few shots of the fans chanting and the host even imitates them at the end!

Also I've a feeling there might be chanting on some Ishida Ayumi audio from around 1969/70, but I can't confirm that until I find it.

A lot of great pop tunes are used in television dramas and films in Japan. And in the advertising world, a 15 second CM might grab the viewers attention simply because of a brief few seconds from a familiar song.

I have discovered a lot of wonderful songs and artists this way- find out the name of the song (on CM's they often print the name of the song for about 2 seconds at the bottom of the song), and then find an original version of it on YouTube....might be a group or artist that I have never heard of, or maybe a song by an artist that I know, but hadn't heard the song before.

So here we have a commerical with two well known actresses- Miho Kano (34 years old) and Makiko Esumi (45 years old) for lipstick...obviously the cosmetics company is targeting women of this age, and the music has a nostalic feel to it......

But hang on, the song almost sounds like it's from the 50's? Isn't that era too far past for the age of the intened audience?
No, because in Japn, this song was used in Hayao Miyazaki's film "Kiki's Delivery Service", which is an 1989 film. Okay, makes sense now- the ladies who are now in their 30's and 40's were school girls when this film was released, so they will get nostalgiac buying impulses, right?

But the song still sounds 50's like......was it written in 1989? No, (to those of you who know the song, etc, please forgive me for going on and on, but this is just to show how I have discovered a lot of great music)....It is a song by Yumi Arai (who later became after marriage Yumi Matsutoya, but is best known to fans as 'Yuming')...and it was release in 1975, years before the film makers chose it for their film.

The title of the song is ルージュの伝言 / Ruuji no Dengon (Message in Rouge), and 50's style music enjoyed a revival in many countries during the 70's.

Would like to give credit for the information that I have to this website:  http://www.collectiondx.com/article/record_review_3_yumi_arai_s_message_of_rouge_ask_me_anything_express_etp_20107_kikis_delivery_service (http://www.collectiondx.com/article/record_review_3_yumi_arai_s_message_of_rouge_ask_me_anything_express_etp_20107_kikis_delivery_service)

Hey! This is a great thread :D. Thank you all for the great music posted ^^. The only "old" song I knew (until now) was nagoriyuki.

Looks like you guys have a great knowledge about this kind of songs so I wonder if you could help me remember one :(. A japanese teacher of mine use that song in class. She gave us the lyric but unfortunately I lost it...the only thing I can remember is that the song was about a letter, between two lovers (husband-wife I think). He died in the war and the song said something about that if she will born again, she will love him again too.

I heard the song "tegami" by saori yuki but that is not the one I remember T___T

Peeps: I was just browing his entry for "Momen no Handkerchief," a song that I consider the greatest of my 70s Kayokyoku youth.

I never really paid that much attention to the lyrics. But damn, I had no idea just how layered the narrative is! The melody is complex enough but damn, how bittersweet can you get in a J-pop song?! Go lookit up, folks!

Thanks!  When they read out the list of the top 20, Saigo Teruhiko has another song in the charts. That other one must be a new release/new entry.
Working on the same logic I checked some of Misora Hibari's singles released after "Tabi no Wakamono" and found it.  It's Misora Hibari - Yuukyou Kaidou (美空ひばり - 遊侠街道).  I can only find karaoke versions on youtube but at least they confirm it's the right song.

The song by the female in the clip above (from about 7:02 to 10:22) is called  遊侠街道 / Yuukyoukaidou (Yuukyou Highway or sumpin' like dat)

It was originally performed in 1961 by a singer named David Dante.

Great find L4verra san, and you are correct- 1974. And it is a cool song, and I bet Reina would like it as well.  :cow:
The group is called  三輪車 / Sanrinsha (Tricycle)
The song is called 水色の街 / Mizuiro no Machi (City of Light Blue or Aqua Colored Town, or sumpin')
The record label was 'Express'

Here is a picture of the record, and the group broke up after only recording a handful of songs. Leader Minoru Yamasaki has stayed active in the music industry as a composer, arranger, and producer.

Good morning. I am a new member. I am an older person writing about my experiences in the tokyo music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In those days I knew Frank Nagai and Matsuo Kazuko, as well as Misora Hibari. I am looking for English language translations of Tokyo Night Club (1959), and also "Dare yori mo kimi wo aisu" and "Good Night, Good Night, Sweet Heart, Good Night" on Matsuo Kazuko's 10 inch LP album from 1960. Many Thanks to all. ... Paul in Arizona.

Ai shita toki kara Kurushimi ga hajimaru /  From the time I loved, the suffering began
Aisareta toki kara Wakare ga matte iru / Since the time of being loved, have waited for the separation
Aah...soredemo nao inochi kakete /  Aah...Still when life is over

Hey there everyone, I'm new here. :)

I've pretty much finished my collection of the Seishun Uta Nenkan CD's, except for a couple. I've seen a couple of CD's posted on here (such as the ones from 1961 and 1962), but I was wondering if anyone perhaps has the collections from 1966 and 1967. On Amazon Japan they are both VERY expensive, so I was wondering if anyone has either of those compilations.

Also, props to the person that mentioned Kazumasa Oda and Off Course earlier in this topic. They are by far my favorite group! :D

Hi! I'm new here and I admit I joined this forum for this particular thread.

I'm very desperately looking for an album by Chieko Baisho. Any album. Maybe like her Golden Best or something like that? The only thing I do NOT want is the song she did for Howl's Moving Castle, Sekai no Yakusoku.

I'm usually pretty good at finding things online, but Chieko Baisho is next to impossible to find for download besides that one song. My friend asked me to look for her music months ago and I'm sad that I've had to disappoint her so far. Now her birthday is coming up June 11 and I'd really like to give her some Chieko Baisho to listen to.

I'll be buying an album for her when I get a job, but in the meantime, a download would be wonderful. Please take pity on me, I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you very much!

Hi,

I only have 3 songs of hers, they're all videos of appearances on Kouhaku.
(I can't give youtube links as I downloaded them years ago and they're probably not on there any more so I uploaded them instead.)

Kouhaku 631231 Baishou Chieko - Shitamachi no Taiyou.mp4
Kouhaku 651231 Baishou Chieko - Sayonara wa Dance no Atoni.mp4
Kouhaku 661231 Baishou Chieko - Ohanahan no Uta .mp4

Download (mega.co.nz) (http://mega.co.nz/#!cRc2DTiY!aI7-O26PYIBF7gEY07m62ksK32kJwOb6WTLUdb_2QCg)

(She made one other Kouhaku appearance in 1964 but I don't think that years Kouhaku still exists in the Japanese TV archives.)

Your best bet for finding more of her songs is youtube.  Search for her name in Japanese and you'll have better success.  Here's her name in Japanese: 倍賞千恵子
Paste that into youtube and you'll find a lot more songs than searching her name in English.

^ good choice L4verra san.........He is   村下孝蔵  /  Kozo Murashita, and he had a string of hits
from the early 80's through the early 90's.

 He continued to perform and record, until his untimely demise- he had a stroke at
a rehearsal on June 24, 1999. He was just 46 years old.


The song is 初恋 / Hatsukoi (First Love) released on February 25, 1983. The song was somewhat different from his predominant style, which tended to be more folk based. He was a very good guitarist as well.

Here is a live version (performance is in 1990) of 春雨 / Harusame (Spring Rain)
which was released on  January 21, 1981:

The "twitter" links should be megaupload but something weird happened with the forum and they all changed to twitter!
I can reupload them if you  post the titles (and if I can find them!)

Ah, you're right!  Thanks for solving the mystery.
All those old cassettes were encoded by a guy on usenet who bought them from a market stall.  I remember we were confused because a Frank Nagai track had a female vocal.

Hello Everybody!

I just signed in to give thanks to everybody who takes part at this thread and to ask you for help.

A few days back i watched a video on youtube which i like because of the music. Of course I don't know what the lyrics are about, after a while somebody told me it's somehing about karate-do. But what really interests me is the music. You know I not only love japanese popular music, but also enka and stuff like that. There is that typical tune in japanese music and in other asian countries too, but because I like the japanese language the most the japanese music is the one I like the most. So if you be so kind, could you analyse the link I attached down below and tell me where I can find more music like that? Like interprets, albums, or even the name of the genre or the time in which this music was played or famous for. I'd really appreciate your help.

空手道おとこ道 山崎照朝 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdHpmBLuq9c#)

After doing a bit research I got to the assumption, that this one could be some kind of gunka (japanese military music) styled song.
Anyway, there is another song - at least the first 12 seconds, because after that it turns to some electronical thing -, which I heard in a video game and it reminded me of a style of music I always wanted to know, but never could find on the internet.
This is the link to it:

Tekken Tag 2:Bountiful Sea FULL [Extended Version] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8YAHj9evp0#ws)

I really hope you can help me with my request. I already downloaded a bunch of the uploaded albums but this kind of genre wasn't contained, or I just missed it.

Thank you a lot in advance!

Yep, this is my channel. I don't actually upload a lot of public stuff. Mostly home videos I keep unlisted. Once in a while I'll risk the evil UTubby digital copyright police and upload stuff like this: J-pop stuff, etc.

There's another cd from the "Meet The Memory" series just up the page.
I googled for Meet The Memory in Japanese (ミート・ザ・メモリー) and found it pretty quick.  I couldn't find a very big picture of the cover though.  I listened to 2 of the songs just to confirm I found the right one.

I'm deep in a rabbit hole on The Tube, checking out the great pop stuff of the 70s. Currently stuck on Noguchi Goro reprising some of his hits. The dude is pushing sixty and can still hit them high notes.

I couldn't do this unless I rested my voice for a week and drank nothing stronger than herbal tea. Which, of course, will NEVER happen. Karaoke is all about blowing your high end after a few songs and then drinking enough to punch in something even sillier after that.

八神純子 (Junko Yagami) was one of my favorite three female singers named Junko with their beautiful voice,
and one of her songs パープルタウン (Purple town) was the best for me, which was performed in 1980.
(http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/k2oi-2d-fe9f.jpg)
This song could remind you of another song. If so, you are right.
This is said to have been prepared based on Ray Kennedy's "You oughta know by now".
Looks like her boss Yamaha considered back then that Mr. Kennedy was not that familiar among Japanese people
and that this plagiarism would never come out to day.
But Yamaha was wrong. Unfortunately, TOTO's guitarist Steve Lukather performed in the back at this Kennedy's song.
He was and is still today quite famous in Japan. So many of us got to know "Purple town" was a rip-off.
After Mr. Kennedy's lawsuit had been settled, the title of the song パープルタウン had to be accompanied
by another one "You oughta know by now" at any time.
From the Wikipedia in Japanese version:
(http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/k2oi-2e-68d3.jpg)
For your reference you find both songs in the folder:
Purple town (Yagami Junko) & You oughta know by now (Ray Kennedy)← Clike here (http://www.mediafire.com/download/t431u1rfw9fedea/150313.zip)

I forgot to verify a confirmation e-mail from MediaFire
so you could not download any files I'd uploaded. I'm very sorry.
I believe you can download any files now.

In 1978, a funny compilation album was released called "LET'S ONDO AGAIN" and was intended for parody songs in 1970s.
We got CD players only after 1982, so this is its record cover.
(http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/k2oi-2q-2665.jpg)
This album includes one parody song for above-mentioned "Smokin' Boogie", which was called 禁煙音頭 (Kin'en Ondo),
"Stop-smokin Dance Song". This song was composed by the same guy, 宇崎竜堂 (Uzaki Ryudou) as "Smokin' Boogie".
He wears his sunglasses on the record jacket above. In 1970s Mr. Uzaki supplied a lot of songs for one of those female idols 山口百恵
together with his wife 阿木耀子. Ms. Yamaguchi is to see on a picture from one of posts by Mr. muppet:
(http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/k2oi-2u-f899.jpg)
In addition to that this song was sung by 竜ヶ崎宇童, an anagram for 宇崎竜堂, aka 鈴木雅之, the lead vocalist of シャネルズ (ラッツアンドスター).

In the album "Let's Ondo Again" there was a song with this same title i.e. レッツ音頭アゲイン and another one with the title "Kawara no Ishikawa Goemon"
(河原の石川五右衛門), i.e. "Ishikawa Goemon on the riverside". Ishikawa Goemon was a legendary robber in the 16th. century,
whose name every Japanese knows. It is said that he was executed on the riverside of 鴨川 (Kamogawa river) in Kyoto boiled alive
in the oil bath with his son.
(http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/k2oi-3b-c451.jpg)
He appears also in a couple of Kabuki theatrical works.
The latter was a parody song for 渚のシンドバット (Nagisa no Shindobatto, in English "Sindibaad on the beach") performed
by that famous female duo singers Pink Lady back in 1977. They became so famous that no one in Japan didn't know who they were at that time.
After over three decades I still remember thire names; the left 根本美鶴代 (Nemoto Mitsuyo) aka ミー (Mie) and the right 増田啓子 (Masuda Keiko) aka ケイ (Kei).

^ 'Pink Lady and Jeff' was a Summer variety series on Television in the U.S. around 1980.
It didn't do very well, although the girls were utterly charming, talented, and beautiful.

The Head of NBC at the time, Fred Silverman, simply tried to cram them into a standard
American variety format, rather than mixing it up with some Japanese style entertainment.

Watch Pink Lady sing with Donny Osmond:

They did their "final" concert and retired (for the 4th(?) time) in 2005.
Until 5 minutes ago I thought that was the end, but I just looked on Japanese wikipedia and it says they resumed activity in 2010 and did a tour in 2011.

Kazuko Matsuo   松尾和子 (1935年5月17日 ~ 1992年9月25日)
& Frank Nagai フランク永井 (1932年3月18日 ~ 2008年10月27日)
in a really nice duet
Performing  東京ナイトクラブ / Tokyo Nightclub, which was a big
hit for them in 1959.

According to Wiki, Nagai san is credited with discovering Matsuo san, and they
often performed duets together.

Sadly Nagai san attempted but failed in a suicide attempt
in 1985 (a lover bore him a child), and causing brain damage,
he no longer could perform.

Matsuo san also had a sad fate- in 1991 her son was found
guilty of drug crimes (stimulants) and jailed- very public criticism
kept her from performing, plus a boutique that she was involved with
went bankrupt, leaving her in debt for millions of yen,
Very distressed, she attempted suicide with pills, but survived.
Her death was caused by a fall down some stairs while at home- her son
still in Prison. Her eldest son, who had been the source of so much trouble, died in
2011, aged 48.

This performance must be in the 70's, and their talent certainly will always be
remembered.

Hi Dan, hi everyone

I just have to say thank you, thank you, thank you (!) for making these
oldies available.  Back in February, after listening to some Peanuts albums,
I started listening to whatever jpop and enka music I could find - and in short
order found this site with your posts.  I've been on a tear ever since.  I haven't
been able to get enough - these Japanese oldies are a new world for me and
there is just so much to explore (and far more than I could afford to shell out).
Dan, I think you are among the few who really attempt to get these tunes out
to the fans.
I love the voice of   都はるみ  does anyone have her albums to share here?

Hello guys,

this is a really awesome thread. So much great music in one place! Thanks a lot to Dan and everyone else who uploaded their own song and album choices because it really is a wonderful treat.
I wanted to ask, is there any chance for these albums to be reuploaded:

Omoide no Melody - Victor Vol.2 - PROPER VERSION
Male Singers - Natsukashi no Original Hit
20 Seiki BEST Kayoukyoku History Vol.1
100 Famous 20th Century Japanese Songs Vol.4 ~Beautiful Memories~
Columbia Original Recording - Showa 10 (1935)

They are all unfortunately dead, but they seemed very interesting. It seems anything hosted on Mega is gone now, so there may be other albums with dead links as well.

If Dan or somebody else could reupload these, I would be very grateful! By the way, is there a thread for Chinese oldies here? I have some CDs that I could contribute, if there is interest. Thanks!

Truly a once in a Thousand Years Talent,
Momoe Yamaguchi was just Seventeen when
Yokosuka Story was released on 1976年6月21日.

May be a bit dated, but her wonderful soulful interpretation
of the lyrics, along with the accompaniment of the sax, organ,
and guitar, makes this song a classic.

Anyone who lived in that era knew Saijo as a giant of the kayokyoku scene. His songs meant as much to me as anything I've babbled on about here and elsewhere: Springsteen, REM/Replacements, CoCo/ribbon, Musume and Company... BTW please don't reference "YMCA" in my presence...

Could you please re-upload "Seishun Uta Nenkan. 50 Nendai Soushuuhen Disc 1".

I added a new link. (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=17255.msg571517#msg571517)
I only just saw your post.

I've not listened to much H!P for a long time and so haven't visited the forum much lately!


While I'm here... has anybody been paying close attention to what Ishida Ayumi songs have been appearing on youtube?
I lost a bunch of stuff in a hard drive failure and was able to redownload everything except some Ishida Ayumi songs which were since deleted from youtube.

If anyone's got any of these it'd be really cool...

Ishida Ayumi songs I'm looking for...

Aoi Kanaria (Blue Canary) / 青いカナリア
Itsumo Nara Watashi wa / いつもなら私は
Anata Kara Douzo / あなたからどうぞ
Hakyoku / 破局
Watashi no Last Show / 私のラストショー
Sasayaki no Refrain / 囁きのリフレイン
Collar ni Kuchibeni (Lipstick On Your Collar) / カラーに口紅
Ikigai / 生きがい
Saihate no Onna / さいはての女
Kanashimi no Torisutana / 哀しみのトリスターナ
Aruhi Totsuzen / ある日突然 (duet with some guy)
Sunadokei / 砂時計
Godokuna Tabibito / 孤独な旅人
Blizzard / BLIZZARD
A Brand New Day / ア・ブラン・ニュー・デイ (studio version) (with Hagiwara Kenichi)
A Brand New Day / ア・ブラン・ニュー・デイ (live at Budoukan) (with Hagiwara Kenichi)

If you still haven't found them, try searching them up on some torrent search engine like Torrentz2 (https://torrentz2.eu/) or some dht crawler like File Listing (https://filelisting.com/). Note the search engine on some of these sites are as simple as check to see if any files contain the exact match, so make sure to play around with some different terms/ways of saying something.

This (https://filelisting.com/jitterin-jinn-4344b473dc26f450e63f5ef3f87dd858384badb2.html) (found on File Listing) might contain the one called "Blue Canary" as track 14. EDIT: nevermind, no one has the full files.

Anyway, there's lots of great stuff here, thanks for uploading it all. I'm in the process of downloading it all, but I'm only up to page 4 so far. :nervous

Didn't know else where to put this. Could've sworn we had a thread for her but I can't seem to find it.

Been on an Okamura Takako kick for the past 2 months. Probably one of the more underappreciated popular music artists of the 1980s-early 90s. Every single album is just solid!

any fans?

YES! this is one of her most famous tracks.  i was surprised after listening to some of her 80s albums how many great songs she had. And she wrote all of them so she has a signature style.  She really doesn't have a bad song .  incredible artist.  :D


I recommend her "AFTERTONE"  and "AFTERTONE II" early greatest hits albums to get a feel for her style.   they are pretty easy to find online.   happy listening!
