Naoki Zushi CD Live – Advaita
CD reissue with bonus track (previously released on cs in 2021), mastered to suit the CD format!
The original member of Hijokaidan, Naoki Zushi, one of the most prominent underground guitarists in Japan and currently active in Nagisa Ni Te, will reissue a CD of a trio of live performances at the 2006 Gyuune Autumn Festival.
It features performances demonstrating the quintessence of Japan’s psychedelic underground, represented by “les rallizes denudes” and “Fushitsusha.” A heavy psychedelic version of “May a flower bloom” is remarkable; it makes you feel intense passion, completely different from the delicately blooming beautiful version that decorates the end of the 4th album. It is a masterpiece that Zushi himself said, “It might be the best live performance of this song.”

Free Jazz in Japan Book – Soejima Teruto – Public Bath
Japanese free jazz critic Teruto Soejima passed away on 12 July 2014, at the age of 83. Since the late 1960s he had been a tireless booster of free jazz in Japan. In 1969 together with Masayuki Takayanagi, Masahiko Togashi and Masahiko Satoh, he helped found the New Jazz Hall, Tokyo’s first dedicated free jazz venue. Unusually, Soejima viewed promotion and production as essential components of his job as a critic, and he was closely involved in record production and arranging concert tours. He enjoyed a particularly long and fruitful relationship with the Moers Festival in Germany, where he arranged appearances by over 130 Japanese free musicians between 1977 and 2006. He was equally committed to promoting Japanese tours by Western free jazz musicians (particularly those from Russia and Korea), including Peter Kowald and Christian Marclay.

New Directions for the Arts CD Projection (The Complete Inspiration And Power Live) – Jinya
A miraculous discovery! The complete live performance at “Inspiration & Power 14” at Shinjuku Art Theater in 1973. Uncut live performance of Masayuki Takayanagi’s New Direction For The Arts Discography at “Inspiration & Power 14” held at the Shinjuku Art Theater in 1973. This CD contains all the performances of the day, although only the last part of the concert was included in the album of the same title.
Recently, a cassette tape was discovered among the belongings of Masayuki Takayanagi, and Otomo Yoshihide, who once studied under Takayanagi, has restored the cassette tape to its original state – and claimed: “without a doubt, this is one of Masayuki Takayanagi’s best works“

Masayuki Takayanagi – Kaoru Abe CD – Real Jazz = リアルジャズ – Jinya
Recorded on May – July, 1970, Tokyo
Another “The Disintegration of the Sympathetic”. Masayuki Takayanagi and Kaoru Abe‘s 1970 studio live recording, 40 minutes of miracle! Miraculous discovery of Masayuki Takayanagi and Kaoru Abe’s live studio recordings from 1970! A live studio performance of Masayuki Takayanagi’s New Direction in 1970, which began to be oriented toward immediate improvisation without setting up any notated thematic motifs. 40 minutes of continuous performance.
This work is based on sound reproduction of Takayanagi’s own recordings on open reel tapes. The tapes were in a bad condition due to problems with the recording equipment and age-related deterioration, and have been restored. Although there are some parts that are difficult to hear, we have made this work because we consider it to be an important historical record.
