Much fun on this one - the title of this mix cd from JF self-explanatory (except that they're all Japanese artists). Most enjoyable (some of those titles possibly the results of google translate efforts): "Sky Drew Ball" by Masato Tomobe, melodic singer-songwriter on piano (1993); "Sukiyaki Etoufee" by Makigami Koichi, which is kind of like a lower-fi "Bohemian Rhapsody" (1992); "Eve of Destruction" by RC Succession, which sounds like heartland roots rock with a punk dash, in a good way (1988); "If Purple" by Haruomi Hosono, which is hazily lovely and feels like a precursor to that Squarepusher pair "Tommib" and "Tommib Help Buss" (1987).
