Yokoyama Katsuya Alshire International - S-. Japanese traditional ancient song about cherry blossoms, Japanese national flower. This song has been well-known for over 1000 years. Japanese main folk song. This song tells about the episode of a soldier during the age of the 16th Century wars. As the song is related with Sake (Japanese wine), this is often sung at feasts.

His first, self-titled solo album was recorded with members of Happy End while they were still active, and if you like that band you’ll probably like this one. It’s been said that he used up all the good songs he had at that point for this project, which explains why he contributed so little to the third and last Happy End album, which was recorded in Los Angeles (with Van Dyke Parks and members of Little Feat) right after this. A solid full length by Japan’s original hippie, this album showcases Masato’s poetic sensibilities with a dusty, druggy sound that’s rooted in traditional folk but touches on a heavier progressive sound, perhaps a bit like Michael Chapman backed by Mick Ronson on Fully Qualified Survivor. This track features the ubiquitous Haruomi Hosono of Happy End on bass and Takashi Mizutani from psychedelic enigmas Les Rallizes Denudes on guitar.
