Bluesy, jazzy, and intimately enveloping in its acoustic soundscape, this soundtrack album is a great way to end the evening and to evoke feelings of wistfulness and nostalgia. A perfect night-time listening pleasure.

This album is a true Masterpiece amazing from start to finish and so relaxant. Beautiful to listen again and again

Pezzo da avere in collezione. L'Obi riporta al 1985 all'uscita del Mostersound, oggetto superbo. Lo consiglio a tutti.

...a fantastic talent. This album is one of my favorite albums from the earlier half of his career. It has so many wonderful songs on it. The opening song Strawberry S3x along with I'm So Drunk are a lot of fun and my personal favorite more upbeat tracks on the album. The sound on the vinyl is fantastic too. The packaging is very simple. It has the line-drawing design on front and back with tracklist. The center fold is just the tracklisting again and album credits. However, there is a sweet Thank You note mentioned amongst this. It also includes a double sided inside sheet with the lyrics for every song laid out nicely. Sadly there's no extra photos of the singer. It does however come with a cute sticker of the album cover and a clear plastic slip for taking care of it. Recommended!!

Nice lp and good sound too. Shipping is very fast and we'll packed!! Very good. Will return to purchase from cdjapan in future too.

This reissue of “Mari Nakamoto III” is an excellent presentation of one of the finest vocal jazz recordings from Japan. Mari Nakamoto’s voice is warm, expressive, and perfectly balanced with the trio behind her. Her phrasing feels natural and intimate, making familiar standards sound fresh and emotionally honest. The pressing quality is very good—quiet vinyl, smooth vocal presence, and a clean overall sound that preserves the charm of the original Three Blind Mice production. The jacket reproduction is also nicely done. For fans of vocal jazz or Japanese jazz, this album is essential, and it’s wonderful to have it available again in a limited edition. Highly recommended.

This limited reissue of the 1963 “Ginparis Session” is a wonderful preservation of an important moment in early Japanese jazz history. The performance captures the raw, intimate atmosphere of the Ginparis club, with lively interaction between the musicians and a beautiful sense of spontaneity. The sound quality is surprisingly clear for a recording from this era, and this pressing plays quietly with good dynamics. The jacket reproduction is nicely done and maintains the vintage charm of the original release. It is great to finally have this rare session available again for collectors and jazz fans. A valuable reissue for anyone interested in the roots of Japanese modern jazz. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful reissue of a timeless jazz-funk classic from Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media. The clear sky blue vinyl looks stunning in person and matches the warm, atmospheric vibe of the music perfectly. The sound quality is excellent — clean, full, and well-balanced with great presence on the horns and rhythm section. The album blends soulful grooves, mellow jazz lines, and a nostalgic mood that makes it easy to keep flipping back to Side A. Even if you’re not deeply into jazz-funk, this pressing is smooth, accessible, and very enjoyable from start to finish. A great addition to any vinyl collection.

This limited reissue of Toki by the Hidefumi Toki Quartet is a wonderful addition for anyone who enjoys smooth, expressive Japanese jazz. The recording has a warm, intimate feel, and Toki’s saxophone tone is especially beautiful — rich, airy, and full of emotion. The pressing quality is impressive: low surface noise, clean dynamics, and a nice balance between the rhythm section and the lead lines. It’s the kind of record that feels great both for focused listening and for relaxing late-night spins. A timeless session that absolutely deserves to be back in print. Highly recommended if you’re exploring 70s–80s Japanese jazz or simply want a refined, soulful record in your collection.

Zigazo is a fantastic reissue from Isao Suzuki, showcasing his unique approach to tone, groove, and improvisation. The album blends deep, earthy bass lines with vibrant jazz fusion colors, creating a sound that is both experimental and very listenable. The pressing quality is excellent — clean playback, solid dynamics, and a warm, detailed low end that really highlights Suzuki’s musicianship. The vinyl feels well-produced and quiet, making the overall experience very enjoyable. Whether you’re a long-time collector of Japanese jazz or just discovering Suzuki’s work, this edition is a strong pick. A distinctive and rewarding record that’s easy to recommend.

This clear-vinyl reissue of Smile by Takeo Moriyama exceeded my expectations in every way. The pressing quality is excellent—quiet, clean, and with great clarity even in the more intense passages. Moriyama’s drumming feels incredibly dynamic, and the transparency of the vinyl actually gives the album a unique visual charm when spinning. The packaging is simple but tasteful, and the jacket reproduction is crisp. Even though the item is now no longer available, I’m very happy I managed to secure a copy. For fans of Japanese jazz or collectors looking for high-quality reissues, this pressing is absolutely worth having. Highly recommended.

One Day by Hideki Ishima is a peaceful and atmospheric record that feels perfect for slow mornings or late-night listening. Ishima’s playing has a warm, expressive tone, and this vinyl pressing captures the subtle details of his performance very well. The sound is clean and smooth, with minimal surface noise, allowing the gentle melodies to really shine. The packaging is simple but tasteful, fitting the calm and introspective mood of the album. As a whole, this LP offers a relaxing and immersive listening experience. If you enjoy melodic instrumental music or want something soothing for your collection, this is a wonderful release to own.

Sonzai no Uta is an album that feels both intimate and deeply emotional. Hiroki Tamaki’s performance has a raw, honest quality, and this vinyl pressing captures that feeling wonderfully. The sound is warm and detailed, especially in the quieter passages where his voice and instrumental textures come through with great clarity. The artwork and packaging are also beautifully done—simple but full of character, matching the tone of the music perfectly. The pressing itself is clean with very minimal surface noise, making it a very enjoyable listen from start to finish. For anyone who appreciates thoughtful songwriting and a personal touch in production, this LP is absolutely worth adding to your collection. I’m very glad I picked it up.

The clear pink vinyl edition of High-flying by Hiromasa Suzuki is an absolute joy to listen to. The album’s mix of jazz, fusion, and lively grooves feels as energetic today as ever, and this pressing really brings out the brightness and detail in the music. The soundstage is open and dynamic, with clear separation between instruments—perfect for appreciating Suzuki’s arrangements. The vinyl itself looks beautiful in clear pink and plays very cleanly with minimal surface noise. It adds a fun visual touch that matches the vibrant mood of the album. Packaging is solid and well printed, giving the release a premium feel overall. If you’re a fan of Japanese jazz fusion or collecting high-quality reissues, this version of High-flying is easy to recommend. A great pressing of a fantastic album.
