DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The concept is "Tokyo." The megalopolis is transformed, and the performance is full of sharp sensitivity and creativity. A new dimension of Japanese jazz has been opened here.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't sell, let's make a record that smells of culture. I want Japanese people to make Japanese jazz." In response to the director's words, Hiroshi Matsumoto decided to record this work, "Megalopolis". The concept is "Tokyo". Inspired by the view of Tokyo, which was rapidly transforming, from the plane, he began production. Matsumoto, Hideo Ichikawa, Kunimitsu Inaba, and Motohiko Hino set up in a circle so that they could see each other's faces and movements, and they deliberately did not have detailed meetings before recording. The suite-like masterpiece "A Day in the City" "Nostalgia" about the longing for something lost, "Megalopolis" with its refreshing and uplifting bird's-eye view of the city, "Serenade" with its bittersweet ennui, and "City Irritation" that digs deep into the soul. This is a masterpiece that depicts a huge city and the people who live there, with performances full of sharp sensitivity and creativity. The original was released as one disc in Victor's "Japanese Jazz" series.

This item came perfectly wrapped and sealed, helix sounds is an amazing seller and I would gladly buy from them again
For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)

I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
