DJ Notoya – Tokyo 1980s Victor Edition Vol.2 (the Vinyl Collection) Boogie, Aor & Fusion From Japan [LP]

DJ Notoya, whose mix “Tokyo 1980s” has garnered attention from listeners around the world. His previous release, “Tokyo 1980s Victor Edition”-a compilation of selected tracks from the Victor archives-was a massive hit on streaming platforms and in vinyl format! Now, the long-awaited vinyl release of the second installment has been confirmed. As the subtitle suggests, this release features a diverse lineup showcasing DJ Notoya’s signature taste, ranging from Japanese boogie to AOR and slow, mellow tracks. The album features eight tracks, including the popular “I’m IN LOVE” by Aru Takamura-a Japanese track with an unusually thick bassline and a swaying beat-as well as “YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE” by ONE LINE BAND (the predecessor to SHOGUN, led by Fujimaru Yoshino), and the refreshingly mellow dance track “ADIOS” by Sadistics, which included YMO’s Yukihiro Takahashi and Masayoshi Takanaka, who is currently making a big splash overseas. The cover artwork is by Hiroshi Nagai.
