This rework, which raises the pitch slightly from the original to give it a “New Disco” feel, is sure to be a hit in a wide variety of settings. And on SIDE-B2, we’ve included a more soothing and enjoyable re-edit version of a melancholic instrumental track from the soundtrack to the TV movie *Matsuri Bayashi ga Kikoeru* (The Sound of the Festival Drums), starring Shoken, composed by Katsuo Ohno. (The vocal version of this song, sung by the late Japanese blues singer George Yanagi—who passed away in the fall of 2011—is also overwhelmingly heart-wrenching and wonderful.) Don’t miss the final track on SIDE-B1, either. Let Japanese free soul classic Haruko Kuwana’s 1978 Japanese free soul classic “Akogare no Sundown” carry you through the seasons.
