Some words on this issue: TAKAGI KYOZO & MIKAMI KAN: “Marumero” (Mikami Kan Showten – JPR-1006) Another never offered before totally elusive privately released Japanese gem that just never turns up, just never… but what a beauty, condition-wise as well as music-wise. Released in an edition of a few hundred back in 1982 by Mikami Kan, who performed together with Takagi on this disc. Probably the rarest disc in Mikami’s back catalogue but also the most overlooked one. While Takagi laments away poetry in his native Tsugaru dialect, Mikami shines through like no other, accentuating Takagi’s delicate phrasing and rural tongues with acute and affective guitar strummings, fierce and forceful at times, mordacious and vitriolic at other moments. His acoustic playing never forces itself unto the foreground but is vivacious and spasmodically touching, vital and virulent at all times. Both Takagi and Mikami bring out distinctly each others strong points, punctuate their mutual “Tsugaru” character and put forth one of the most quivering performances ever recorded, filled with qualities which constitute beauty in the true sense of the word. Just awesome, a lost gem, extremely rare
