Bringing you the best in Japanese Jazz Fusion from the 1970s to today!
Since the late 1970s, I've been listening to jazz fusion recordings from Japan. It started with Sadao Watanabe, Toshiyuki Honda and Hiroshi Fukumura. Since then I've added 100s of artists to my playlist, including Native Son, Casiopea, Ryo Kawasaki, Naniwa Express, Kazumi Watanabe, Yoshiaki Masuo, Mikio Masuda, Yuji Toriyama, Kenji Omura and Mitsuru Sutoh.

W.I.N.S - Earth Dance

They were Akira Wada on guitar, Akira Ishiguro on keyboards, Toshimi Nagai on bass, and Kozo Suganuma on drums. They didn't release a second album until 2008.

Vertical-Engine: Hidenobu "Kalta" Otsuki (Jazzz) 2008 This hard-to-find album from drummer Hidenobu "Kalta" Otsuki is well worth the effort it took me to locate it.

This album from 2008, was a project that brought together the best musicians for each song...

Hip Cruiser: Shigeharu Mukai (Better Days) 1979 It's all about the keyboard solo on this track from trombonist Shigeharu Mukai's 1979 album - Hip Cruiser. I've already featured a track from this great album, but listening to it in the car recently, the keyboard solo on the album's closing track, Manipura, has a sensational solo from Kazuhide Motooka, that I just had to share. Unfortunately, Mot...

Que cosa más bonita y más bien hecha, solo empezar ya me ha cautivado 🎉
Groovy
雨のル・マンの夕暮れにピッタリ！
i'm fuckin' groovin' rn
Sugoi! Arigato gozaimasu!
Díky!
Thank you!
I tried to upload the rest of album because I can't find it anywhere on here and they took it down :(
That's why I only upload a single track despite having the full album. They are quick to take down your channel if you don't follow the rules.
@@JapaneseJ-Fusion yeah that stinks because I wanted to be able to slow the songs down so I could learn the solos and stuff but you can’t do that on Spotify/Apple Music
never fails to impress me of how you're able to find these wonderful tracks
I admit to having a very big collection!
Does anyone have a link to download this album? It's amazing.
🍷
Both Gary and Dave put a lot of effort and care into their performances for this album. Kiyomi played and arranged with her life for this album as well. I'm sure this is a one of her best products. I'm so sorry that a lot of people don't know about this album. Thanks for tracking this product. Now she's released a new album with Jiro Okada(bass) and Yoichiro Yamauchi(drums).
This song is very groovy though i can't find the whole album
yo where did you get the thumbnail/background pic? A copy of the "original" CDs of the first 5 himiko albums with the OBI strip is extremely rare for some reason, I've gotten my hands on 2 of them without the obi. Also a copy of this particular CD is really rare in general. Anyways, cool vid
Akira Wada and Kozo Suganuma being a part of the same band is kind of like a dream come true for me. Some of my favorite musicians ever.
Love anything involving Koichi Yabori. Not too surprised to see Jiro Okada here as well, the two of them play together pretty frequently from what I can tell.
Nice jazz
Such clean notes a real professional 👍
Yes, I agree. So easy to listen to
Hi,Its a so great song. I want to know do you have the guitar tab?
Unfortunately, I don't have the guitar tab, but I hope one of my subscribers might be able to help you.
I came from The Breeze on WQNA
Great, didn't know the exact name of this project and been looking everywhere for this yor years. THANK YOU! =)
Glad you found it and enjoyed it!
Great song, a question for everybody, what’s your favourite Prism album?
do u have any other songs like that ?
Wow. Excellent.
Thanx Tanja Brboric.🍻
amazing!
say gex
where do you find all these songs?
I've been listening to and collecting Japanese jazz since the 1970s. I recently decided it was time to share my passion and collection with everyone. I hope you're enjoying it.
yeah i just got into jazz fusion, so finding this channel was great! is there like a website you find these songs or is this just a collection you’ve held to upload for a long time?
@@thathat429 All these tracks are from my collection that I've built up over many years. I have a website that lists most of the Japanese jazz artists and their albums www.japanesejazzfusion.com/
Some Gino Vannelli flavour in the guitar riff
Nicely observed!
Very nice rendition ❤

Glad you like it. It certainly caught my attention
I started listening to this in my bedroom. Before the 6 minutes were up, I somehow found myself in Monaco with a suitcase full of cash...
You've got to love the power of music 🤣
Thank you for introducing us to this gem 🥲

Magnifique m'y friend from tunisia africa

This sounds amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
The best City Hunter song ever 😅 I know it's not , but it could be!!! Incredible voice and arrangments 😍😍
Definitely sounds like you're a fan!
@@JapaneseJ-Fusion yes !! That's the way i discovered city pop music years ago 😋 Arigato Saebasama 😁
Found this vinyl today for $1. It was a no brainer once I saw Sadao Watanabe. But wow look at all those other musicians listed. Impressive.
That's great find. I remember buying this when it was released. I paid a lot more than a $1!
slay
Glad to see more Yuji Ohno stuff being posted. I first learned about him after coming across You and The Explosion Band's album Full Course, which quickly became one of my favorite J-Fusion albums.
I remember that album. I must have it in my collection somewhere.
Thank you for the music on this channel <3
My pleasure. Keep enjoying.
great to see another big floppa enjoyer
thanks to you I have discovered new music, greetings from Mexico
Greetings from Scotland. I'm glad you're enjoying the music. I have a lot more to share from Japan.
This entire record is a treasure trove of fire. Good stuff friend.
It's a rare treat and a good one.
Absolute gem
❤ Sadly, again I can’t listen to it on Apple Music 😩😂 But thanks for giving us the opportunity to enjoy it anyway…
Unfortunately, so little of this music is available on Apple, Amazon or Spotify
