Shinichi Tanabe / Takashi Miki – Jooubachi
Shinichi Tanabe / Takashi Miki – Jooubachi
Japan Original Pressing.
Gothic Japanese soundtrack with jazz-baroque tension, low-lit funk pulse, and chamber-like dread.
This record hits harder when it is described through its actual sound. Rather than a straight orchestral mystery score, Jooubachi moves between chamber-like suspense, jazz-inflected phrasing, and moments of low, creeping funk tension, with bandoneon, flute, brass, and electric bass giving the music a humid, claustrophobic color. Shinichi Tanabe’s main theme writing is known for its delicate, transparent melodic line, but what makes the LP memorable is the contrast between that beauty and the darker, more physical undercurrent running beneath it.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
