Some words on this issue: ARAKI ICHIRO: “Araki Ichiro no Sekai” (Victor – SJX-67) Rarely seen and rare original copy. Kayokyoku and enka crossbreeding and merging with psychedelic twists and turns? It all happens. Araki Ichiro is mainly known and famous as an enka singer, arranger and producer of other artists’ discs (such as Sandra Julien’s “Sexy Poem” for example). In 1969, Araki did make this one oddity that stood out and proud in his total oeuvre, a disc that perfectly fused Japan’s traditional enka and kayokyoku stylings with lysergic and acidic elements. Heavy organ riffage fuses with demented fuzz guitar licks and orchestrated elements that blew in straight out of a runaway enka tune all complete with Araki lustfully crooning on top of it all. In some ways it comes over as Gainsbourg like arrangements with an oriental feel attached to them – a city-smeared kayokyoku feel - spiked up with lysergic accents and sneering fuzz guitar licks that pop up in and out of the mix. The heavy use of fuzz all over the place makes this disc such a hard to pinpoint gem. A dead stone classic, hard to come by.
