Hako Yamasaki - Tsunawatari

Ah, I have a weak spot for old Japanese (surprise surprise) pop. :(

Something along the lines of Morita Doji, but not quite like her. Don't get me wrong they are both great singers but they differ in voice characteristics a lot. For example Moritas voice is soft while Hakos voice is much more passionate and determined but they are both rooted in melancholic sound in their songs (atleast it sounds like that to me). Musically is also awesome. It has everything 70s music needs (those famous rock organs (if they are called like that :o), electric guitars etc.) but there are also songs that are just acoustic guitars and Hakos lovely desperate voice.

Tracklist:

01. Mukaikaze (5:21)
02. Shiroi Hana (5:20)
03. Himawari (3:20)
04. Tenjo (5:34)
05. Help Me (4:20)
06. Hitori Uta (3:42)
07. Harmonica fuki no Otoko (3:37)
08. Tsunawatari (5:36)
09. Utaitaino (4:12)
10. Tanjo Iwai (7:04)
11. Yurusarezaru Koi (5:05)

    To me Hako is lotta more conventional, say, than Douji.
    Hako sings "almost everything", while Douji has only her little personal world, which extends even when writing music for other people.

    Love your site. I keep coming back to it over time. Downloaded this Yamazaki Hako album a long time ago, but I've lost a lot of data since then. I was hoping to get it again, but it's no longer available. I wanted to ask if you could upload it again. Thank you.

    Thanks for sharing Flying Teapot. I recently discovered Hako Yamasaki and would love to get my hands on her album. Unfortunately, the download link no longer words. Any advice. If not, I can always get the album on CD. Thanks in advance!

    Mislim da nemam ništa drugo od nje. Za ovakve stvari ti je najbolje preko SoulSeek-a tražiti ili se domogni What.cd accounta.

    I found quite a few of her albums on the Apple UK store. It looks like they were released recently but the one posted here 'Tsunawatari' is not shown. I am happy to use the link, but in early 2021, this link is no longer active. Thanks
