Product Overview
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD COMES NEW UNSEALED.
For the first time ever, these groundbreaking albums that fuse traditional Japanese folk music with dance music arrive on vinyl.
Released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her debut, renowned minyo singer Akiko Kanazawa delivers a truly unique blend of powerful folk vocals and club-driven production. Originally issued on CD in 1991, HOUSE MIX I and HOUSE MIX II were produced by Soichi Terada, the visionary behind FAR EAST RECORDINGS, whose work continues to gain global recognition.
Terada’s timeless, genre-crossing approach pairs seamlessly with Kanazawa’s expressive and commanding voice, resulting in a bold and innovative sound that still feels fresh decades later. These albums stand as pioneering works that opened new paths between traditional music and electronic dance culture.
Following the success of the 7-inch single “Akita Daikokumai / Akita Ondo,” which topped multiple sales and pre-order charts, these long-awaited vinyl editions further highlight the lasting impact and growing appreciation of this remarkable collaboration.
