This collection of 1920s \u0026amp; 30s ryukoka recordings follows on from the Kouta Katsutaro tape we put out a couple of years back, and further captures the hauntingly unique sound of a cultural merging that was starting to reflect itself via popular song, ahead of the widespread influence of western pop music during post-war US occupation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Akemi's Poems \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Longing for the Shadow \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Sad Gull \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Please Forgive Me \u003cbr\u003e1.5 If You Go Down the Tenryu \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Cosmos Elegy \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Tokyo Daughter \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Skyscraper \u003cbr\u003e1.9 The Dream Is Short Lived \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Is Sake Tears or Sighs? \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Yoneyama Sanri \u003cbr\u003e1.12 I Don't Forget \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Asama Smoke \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Farewell Ship \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Various Artists - Farewell Youth \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Stand Up Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Longing For The Shadow: Ryukoka Recordings 1921-39","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39640287313991,"sku":"42543954","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4075929-2819748.jpg?v=1711760129","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/longing-for-the-shadow-ryukoka-recordings-1921-39-longing-for-the-shadow-ryukoka-recordings-1921-1939-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
