Jack Diamond Disco Night
The press release for "Kyōhei Disco Night", a remix album of songs written by Tsutsumi Kyōhei (Japan's #1 pop songwriter), made me realize something quite funny.
It says "music by Tsutsumi Kyōhei (except track 10 by Jack Diamond)"... track 10 is Asano Yūko "Sexy Bus Stop". A quick search made me find out that "Jack Diamond" is a rare nickname that he only used a few times it seems, for disco tracks such as this one and "Soul korekkiri desuka", a funny disco medley 7" that even made it to my Japanese disco collection. :)
Finally today, I got my hands on the album (it got on the shelves yesterday) and I'm just having a first listen now, and no surprises, it's all great!! I couldn't resist but to listen to the P5 cover first, and it's fantastic! P5 fans will also recognize Ishida Ayumi's "taiyō wa naiteiru" as the inspiration of "Mon Amour Tokyo", this one is remixed by mash-up unit Missing Linc! As seen on this blog, P5 also borrowed some typography from the single's jacket.
The jacket designed by Shindō Mitsuo is a must-see, with a sparkle effect that can't be enjoyed on a computer screen.
For release details, see my agenda or the Konishi discography.
(I had made some mistakes in the 2nd paragraph and it was a mess, so I've corrected it. Sorry for the confusion, if any.)
