Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

Okinawan roots music opened into synth-pop, Latin color, and festival-like groove.

Celebration is a 1982 Shoukichi Kina album made in collaboration with Makoto Yano, turning Okinawan song into a more open, modern sound. The album blends sanshin-rooted melody with synth-pop, Latin-pop, rock, and festive rhythm, giving tracks like “Celebration,” “Nirai Kanai,” and “Hana” a bright but deep energy. For Record Monster, this is not just an Okinawan folk record, but a border-crossing Japanese groove LP with real spirit and movement.

About the Condition

Grade Description
S (Sealed) Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played.
M (Mint) Perfect condition. Looks unplayed with no signs of use. Typically used for records that are brand new or opened but never played.
EX (Excellent) Very clean. May have light scuffs or hairline marks, but plays perfectly.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) Minor wear, light surface noise, no major flaws — a solid average used copy.
VG (Very Good) Visible wear and surface noise. Plays through without skipping.
G+ (Good Plus) Heavily used. Significant wear or scratches, but still playable.

+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).

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.
