WRWTFWW Records:

"Official reissue of the sophomore album from fabled folk singer-songwriter/actress/writer, and one of the most gorgeous voices of Japanese music, Hako Yamasaki, originally released in 1976 on the legendary Elec Records, one of the first independent labels in the country .

Tsunawatari is a perfect follow-up to her classic debut Tobimasu, immortalizing the bitter beauty of heartache with tearful performances and nostalgic empowerment.

Hako Yamasaki is considered a pioneer in both the creative boom and the rise of feminism of 1970s Japan.

This album is released in conjunction with Tobimasu, also available on WRWTFWW Records.

Folk, Alternative, Psychedelic, Soft, Poetic"

After reassembling and slotting the cassette into the Tascam Portastudio, I recorded and played back the sounds of the tape loop. These sounds were then manipulated using the pitch wheel to make subtle and warbly inflections to the recordings.
