Comments:

Japan Original Pressing.

Yusaku Matsuda meets Yoshiko Sai and Yuji Ohno. Smoky vocals, deep mellow soul, cinematic arrangements, and the haunting “Mujin no Shima” make this far more than an actor’s debut LP.

Matsuriuta is where Yusaku Matsuda’s raw presence meets some of the deepest sounds of 70s Japan. The real treasure is “Mujin no Shima,” Yoshiko Sai’s haunting composition transformed by Yuji Ohno into a dark, spacious and deeply mellow piece, while “Kaze ga Fuku...” and “Iro Toridori no Machi” continue that cinematic atmosphere. A cult Japanese LP where soul, folk, blues and soundtrack-like mood blur beautifully together.

About the Condition

Grade	Description
S (Sealed)	Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played.

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.
