A hidden treasure of 1990s Okinawan exotica and electronic music. Ryukyu electronic salon music that evokes the mental imagery of a “peaceful Asia.” This is the first-ever LP release celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of the one-of-a-kind masterpiece *Underwater Garden* (1993). It comes with bonus tracks!!

Recommended by Peter Barakan and Makoto Kubota, he was selected as one of the “Best Bands of 1986” in a magazine. He was also a key member of the legendary Okinawan band “Rokunin-gumi”—a group that disbanded before their debut album, which was being produced by Bill Laswell’s label, could be released. He also contributed to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Neo Geo,” which fused Ryukyuan music, rock, and electro. EM Records is reissuing Kojun’s 1993 CD-only album *Underwater Garden*! Opening with the sound of gamelan, this album features an imaginary soundscape that fuses the exotic sounds of Bali, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia with electronic music. It’s fantastic. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
