{"product_id":"meiko-kaji_otoko-onna-kokoro-no-aika_2026_mdl","title":"Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika","description":"Wewantsounds is delighted to continue its reissue program of Meiko Kaji's albums released on Teichiku Records in the early 70s. A muse for Quentin Tarantino for her roles in Lady Snowblood and Stray Cat Rock, she is also a renowned singer, as proven by *Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika*, released in 1974. A mix of Japanese pop and groove, with sumptuous and atmospheric orchestrations, the album notably includes a cover of \"Tokyo Nagare Mono\", the theme from Seijun Suzuki's cult film *Tokyo Drifter* (1966). This reissue features remastered audio, original artwork with OBI, plus a 4-page booklet with new liner notes by Hashim Kotaro Bharoocha, who interviewed Meiko Kaji for the occasion. While her previous albums often featured tracks from her films, *Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika* offers an elegant reinterpretation of classic *kayōkyoku* (Japanese popular songs) and *enka*, often described as the \"Japanese blues\". Kaji approached this album with an actress's sensibility, treating each cover as a dramatic role. Throughout the album, traditional themes blend with contemporary grooves, combining lush orchestrations with funky basslines to create a uniquely hypnotic and cinematic atmosphere. Reissued for the first time since 1974 and remastered by Teichiku in Tokyo, *Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika* is a new addition to Wewantsounds' Meiko Kaji reissues, which will undoubtedly delight her fans worldwide.","brand":"Meiko Kaji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56948304707928,"sku":null,"price":20260522.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3700604782315.jpg?v=1775682413","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/meiko-kaji_otoko-onna-kokoro-no-aika_2026_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
