1CD - Import

Wewantsounds continues its extensive Meiko Kaji reissue program in partnership with Teichiku Records and Meiko Kaji herself, with the release of Gincho Wataridori, her debut album from 1972.

This is the first time the album is reissued since release and it comes with its original Japanese artwork and newly remastered audio.

Famous for her '70s exploitation movies, Meiko Kaji also released a string of great albums on Teichiku mixing Japanese pop and cinematic grooves. This reissue comes with deluxe gatefold sleeve LP, OBI strip and a two-page insert featuring new liner notes by
Hashim Kotaro Bharoocha.

Renowned for her roles in the highly acclaimed
Stray Cat Rock and Female Prisoner Scorpion film series, Kaji became one of the most famous exploitation actresses in Japan in the early '70s. Invited by film studios to sing the theme for many of her films, she ended up recording five albums for Teichiku between 1972 and 1974, which have become increasingly sought-after over the years.

Gincho Wataridori was the very first album released by Meiko Kaji in 1972 and is a great mix of kayokyoku (Japanese Pop), traditional Enka Music, psych rock and '70s cinematic groove.  

The album features the song "Gincho Wataridori" a theme song for the eponymous gangster film released by Toei Films in 1972 (and known outside of Japan as "Wandering Ginza Butterfly"). On the cover of the album, Meiko actually wears the kimono she wears in the film. The song showcases Kaji's distinctive singing over a funky backbeat and fuzz guitar.
Ginchou Wataridori was produced by two seasoned Teichiku producers, Yorifumi Itoand Kenji Nakajima and features a superb mix of pop songs ("Hakodate Monogatari"), funky ones ("Koini Inochio," "Shitto") and atmospheric ones ("Jingi Komoriuta") making the perfect setting for Meiko Kaji's unique singing, reflecting the cool, dangerous atmosphere of the films she would star in.

The first of a series of five LPs produced for Teichiku between 1972 and 1974,
Gincho Wataridori marks the beginning of Meiko Kaji's fruitful career as a recording artist and is a unique testament of her singing talent which Wewantsounds reissues in its full glory with gatefold sleeve, remastered from the original master tapes.

This is the suntan lotion I’ll buy from now on.
Really nice suntan lotion. I brought it to a quick Florida trip in early summer. Very light compared to other products we have on hand. Not greasy. I plan to buy this in future once we run out. I also really liked the set of three 3oz containers which made it perfect for travel. I give this product 5 stars without hesitation.

Best dry-touch broad spectrum sunscreen available.
I've use this for the past 10 years. It is highly effective. In addition, a small amount goes a long way and it is NOT GREASY!! That is a major plus for me. I keep a short beard and it is easy to use with the beard. It functions very well and I have not found a better product. Other than its effectiveness, you can't tell you used it.

Great sunscreen🌞
Neutrogena sunscreen is my favorite. It has never made me break out and use it on my face every day for years and never broke out from this brand. My doctor wanted me to use sunscreen 24/7 for years.
