Taeko Tomioka – Monogatari no Youni Furusato wa Tooi
Taeko Tomioka – Monogatari no Youni Furusato wa Tooi
Japan Original Pressing.
Obi & insert complete! Only a very light stain — no tears or splits, and exceptionally clean for its age!
A wildly singular Japanese avant-pop masterpiece—psychedelic, theatrical, and impossible to file away.
This is not just an oddball Japanese record—it is one of those genuinely once-heard-never-forgotten albums. Built around Taeko Tomioka’s striking words and presence, then pushed into stranger territory by a young Ryuichi Sakamoto and a formidable cast of players, Monogatari no Youni Furusato wa Tooi feels theatrical, unstable, nostalgic, and beautifully unhinged all at once. Too avant-garde for straightforward pop, too song-driven to reduce to experiment alone, it stands as a truly singular 1977 work that keeps gaining new listeners for a reason.

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.
