Get ready to dive into a classic groove with the original soundtrack for the Nippon Television drama "Matsuribayashi ga Kikoeru," which first aired in 1977 and starred the legendary Kenichi Hagiwara (Shoken). This album features two standout tracks, "Dream Racer" and "Stranger," offered in various cool arrangements.

The music, written and arranged by Katsuo Ohno—who’s worked with legends like The Spiders, PYG, and the Takayuki Inoue Band, and has scored for shows like "Taiyo ni Hoero!", "Kizudarake no Tenshi," and the long-running anime "Meitantei Conan"—captures that timeless Japanese groove. The tunes are brought to life by George Yanagi and the NADJA Band, known for backing Shoken. Finally, this gem is making its comeback on vinyl.

Plus, this reissue includes fresh liner notes by lyricist Ryo Shoji (Summer 2024).

Avery M. ★★★★★

Pulled this record out of the sleeve and the vinyl was perfectly flat with no warps—the audio is crisp and warm, just how you’d hope a 1977 soundtrack would sound.

Miles ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about surface noise on a 1977 soundtrack, but the pressing is dead quiet and the dynamic range on Kenichi Hagiwara's vocals really shines through. It’s like stepping back into that era every time I drop the needle.

Claire E. ★★★★☆

The vinyl captures that warm, nostalgic 70s TV drama vibe perfectly, and the pressing itself is nicely quiet between tracks. I just wish the jacket included more liner notes about the recording sessions, since the music alone makes me want more context. It's a lovely piece for any fan of classic Jap
