Garandou to Kaze Ichizoku (我乱堂と風一族) - Marude Circus (まるでさあかす) (1980) - Side A [HQ]
"We are Noah's Ark.
Will you board this ship?
It's we that create the history. It's too soon to die.
Will you go on board our ship?"
Garandou to Kaze Ichizoku (我乱堂と風一族) is a three-member folk group from Yokohama. They released this private press LP in a limited run of 200 copies in 1980. The lyrics are beautiful and describe sleepless nights, a trip out to sea and the disappointments of New York. It's a fun and emotional album made by passionate musicians.

Melting Point - 妻は夢中になった。 (1981) - Side A [HQ]
มุมมอง 926หลายเดือนก่อน
Melting Point is a 6 member rock band. They released their first and only record in 1981. It's a relatively unknown album, which hops between progressive rock, somber blues and fun craziness (like A3, with the onslaught of monkey sounds). You can tell they had a lot of fun recording. The album ends with a long track that contains a fantastical and emotional guitar solo that lasts 3 minutes and ...

This and the one that comes right after, absolutely magic sound
i love last song
まるで当時のフォークシンガーみたいなヒッピー然した風貌なのに、真っ赤な大礼服みたいな衣装のアンバランスさよ。
Feels like song about deep deep loneliness
Does anyone know if JA Seazer made more music that sounds like this? Some of the songs have a very similar style to Shoujo Tsubaki's ost. Maybe some of the songs for shoujo tsubaki might have been taken from some of his other albums.
It's definitely interesting.. Given the date on this tape is 1994, it was recorded 2 years after Midori was released. I wouldn't doubt the synths used here are similar if not identical to the ones used for that film's score. However, I doubt any of the tracks are on either side of this recording due to the fact that Seazer's theater troupe had no involvement with Midori at all, rather it was a solo project appointed by Hiroshi Harada. Kiryukan (Harada's independent film archive) has the master tapes of the soundtrack but will not release them any time soon due to Japanese music copyright laws. Hope this helps!
@@gynsa oh darn, so you're telling me, that Hiroshi Harada commissioned the ost to Seazer, he sent the tapes directly. And now Harada can't release them because it's not his songs? I hope Seazer also has the tapes of the ost on his side, then maybe we might have a chance one day.
@@hesiolite Second that... this tape is different from the Terayama-Seazer albums and still not quite like Shoujo Kakumei Utena songs (Or even Barbara Dwarf Star Child Apocalypse). I recommend the album "Electric Bulb Ammonite", its pretty close to the style of this tape.
@@yours_truly_ thanks for the recommendation. It seems like it's hard to find the whole album tho

うわあ。 ありがとうございます。 1986年の暮れか87年初頭だったと思うのですが、関西のテレビ局がこの作品を放送しました。なんの予備知識もなく見ていたのですが、宝探しに興じる若者が最後には大変辛いことになる展開に呆然となりました。前半「冒険者たち」後半「凶弾」。 以来35年あまり、もう一度見たいと願っていました。 今回、劇中の楽しい場面に流れていたあの曲を遂に聴くことができました。感謝です!

カレーライス作りながら聴いてます。猫にはあげません。ニャーニャー言ってますが、

LYRICS(both Original Japanese and English Translation ) I saw other guys already post Japanese Lyrics and translation separately but people want to know both the same time so I put together here. * Note : On the surface, the lyrics are about a man and cat eating curry rice, a Japanese soul food, but it is actually an anti-war song. When this song was written, it was just after the hippie and flower movement of the late 1960s. Japanese Folk and Rock music scene was heavily influenced by that even in 1970's. [English Translation] You, the cat, me. We all like curry and rice. You cut potatoes and carrots. You cut onions with tears in your eyes. You're so silly... so silly... you even cut your own hands... I'm sitting here playing the guitar... Cat is noisy and bother me. "Give me a kiss, meow meow meow meow meow meow " It( curry ) smells so good I'm lying down watching TV. And they finally made peace with Vietnam. But I'm not too happy about it. Congratulations to the Vietnamese people. You and cat likes sweet curry and rice. But I prefer extra spicy one. Mnnnn....Curry and rice. Mnnnn.....Can't wait to try Curry and rice. Mnnnn....Smells good. Mnnnn....Curry and rice. [Original Japanese Lyrics ] 君も猫も僕も みんな好きだねカレーライスが 君はとんとんじゃがいもにんじんを切って 涙を浮かべてたまねぎを切って 馬鹿だな馬鹿だなついでに自分の手も切って 僕は座ってギターを弾いてるよ ん~カレーライス 猫はうるさくつきまとって あたいにもはやくくれニャーニャーニャーって う〜んとってもいい匂いだな 僕は寝転んでテレビを見てるよ そしたらついにベトナム和平だって でもあんまり喜べないけど おめでとうベトナムの皆さん でも君と猫はちょっと甘いのが好きなんだね でも僕はうんとうんと辛いのが好きだよ ふふふーん カレーライス 早くできないかなカレーライス ふふふ~ん とってもいい匂いだな ふふふ~ん カレーライス

English Translation: (lyrics) You and the cat and everyone Everyone loves curry and rice You cut the pork and carrots. Cutting onions with tears in my eyes Idiot, Idiot, cut off my own hand as well. I'm sitting and playing the guitar curry rice The cat follows me noisily Please give it to me now Hmm, it smells very nice. I lie down and watch TV Someone cut my stomach Hmm, that must be very painful. Haha... curry rice I like something a little sweet with you and the cat. I like really spicy food Fufufu curry rice Fufufu curry rice

I'm impressed with these uploads It's too bad no one signed up for you patreon to help out.
Please upload the A side as well, we'd be very grateful for that😅
marvelous. This must be very rare footage. where did you find this?
この歌が何が良いのかよく分からない。時代背景を考慮すれば、共感出来る人はいるんでしょうけど。唯一無二で純な歌だからですかね?
@opkbgxwawawabdg , リアルで体験してないと時代独特の空気感やこの種の音楽を理解するのは難しいかも。一見なんでもない4畳半フォークソングですが、歌詞の裏には反戦のメッセージが込められています。 数フレーズだけベトナム戦争について触れてますがそれこそがこの歌の核となる部分です。普通の歌詞の中に1箇所だけ本当に伝えたいメッセージや言葉を差し込む事で聞き手により強い印象を残す手法をこの頃のフォークシンガーはよく使っていました。 1960年代の反戦ラブ&ピースのヒッピーフラワームーブメントは海外では数年で終息しましたが、日本のフォーク・ロックシーンは1970年代もそのまま継続しており、反骨精神を持ち政府に反抗する事が若者の間でカッコいいとされていた風潮があった。この歌にもその影響がみられます。参考になれば幸いです🙂
@user-uf3bb2dk4k ご指摘ありがとうございます。確かにそう取れますね! このベトナムの歌詞はアドリブだった記憶があります。差し込めるフレーズに限りがあるのでそれでちょっとそっけない感じになったかもですね。 あとあの頃のフォークシンガーって一癖も二癖もあり、偉大なアーティストである事は間違いないんですが、ひねくれてる人(裏を返せば知的)が多かった。歌詞もひねって書いてる事多いので裏側の意味はなんだろうなって考えながら聴いてました。なんかきちんとした返事になってなくてすみません🙇
Did you upload Side A too? Would be awesome to have the complete album.
Arigato. B side ?
Does anyone have the names of the tracks? Thanks
There was no tracklist on the copy I have, and I can't find anything online
