{"product_id":"hako-yamasaki-tsunawatari-lp","title":"Hako Yamasaki - Tsunawatari LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e180 gram vinyl. WRWTFWW Records present the first official worldwide reissue of the sophomore album from fabled Japanese folk singer-songwriter\/actress\/writer \u003cb\u003eHako Yamasaki\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTsunawatari\u003c\/i\u003e. Recorded right after her outstanding debut \u003ci\u003eTobimasu\u003c\/i\u003e (WRWTFWW 079CD\/LP), \u003ci\u003eTsunawatari\u003c\/i\u003e was released in 1976 on Elec Records, one of the first independent labels in Japan, and solidified Hako Yamasaki as one of the most gorgeous voices of the country and an exceptional musician and singer. A truly perfect follow-up, it immortalizes the bitter beauty of heartache with tearful performances and nostalgic empowerment. The beauty of melancholic songs reaches heartbreaking heights in \u003ci\u003eTsunawatari\u003c\/i\u003e, a magnificent ode to the sorrow of lost love and the time that passes offered to the world with a very unique brand of folk music. The kind of folk that goes for the guts, folk that shamelessly flirts with tearful blues, contemplative soft pop and psychedelic nostalgia. Put the needle on \"Help Me\" -- there's simply no holding back. Hako Yamasaki, a pioneer in both the creative boom and the rise of feminism of 1970s Japan, went on to release over thirty albums, building an impressive discography and a fascinating career filled with ups and downs. Her work, inimitable and timeless, deserves the utmost recognition and should be celebrated. Again and again and again. \u003ci\u003eTsunawatari\u003c\/i\u003e is released in conjunction with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cromulentrecords.com\/products\/hako-yamasaki-tobimasu-lp\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hako Yamasaki Tobimasu Japanese Vinyl Cromulent Records\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eHako Yamasaki's classic debut album Tobimasu\u003c\/a\u003e, also available on WRWTFWW Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMukai Kaze \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShiroi Hana \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHimawari \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenjō \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelp Me \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHitori Uta \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmonica Fuki No Otoko \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTsunawatari \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtaitaino \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTanjō Iwai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/IRzhPeT2Csc\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WRWTFWW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43012767809714,"sku":"WRWTFWW 080","price":54.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/5507\/3714\/products\/WRWTFWW080LP_CU.jpg?v=1681324321","url":"https:\/\/cromulentrecords.com\/en-ca\/products\/hako-yamasaki-tsunawatari-lp","provider":"Cromulent Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
