Emerging during the early stages of the recording industry in Japan, the ryūkōka style adopted western classical, blues & jazz elements into traditional and classical Japanese music.
This collection of 1920s & 30s ryūkōka recordings follows on from the Kouta Katsutaro tape we put out a couple of years back, and further captures the hauntingly unique sound of a cultural merging that was starting to reflect itself via popular song, ahead of the widespread influence of western pop music during post-war US occupation.

2018年に同レーベルからリリースされ好評を得た”小唄勝太郎”のテープに続くもので、戦後のアメリカ占領下で西洋のポップミュージックの影響を受ける以前に、文化の融合がポピュラーソングを通じて独自に反映され始めた、心に残るユニークなサウンドをまとめたもの。全16曲を収録。 (コンピューマ) (LPのコメントから参照)
