Kirinji – Free Soul Kirinji (4-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Japan's pop landscape has few groups as quietly influential as Kirinji, the brother duo of Hideo and Takaki Konishi, whose meticulous arrangements and sophisticated harmonic sensibility earned them a devoted following well beyond their home country. Curator Toru Hashimoto's Free Soul series has long served as a bridge between Japanese listeners and a global crate-digging community, and seeing Kirinji's catalog filtered through that lens on vinyl makes a compelling case for their place alongside the great studio-obsessed pop acts of any era.
The KIRINJI compilation ""Free Soul Kirinji,"" originally released on CD in 2014, is now being released on vinyl. Selected and supervised by Toru Hashimoto (SUBURBIA), the highly acclaimed ""Free Soul"" compilation series has transcended eras, genres, and national borders, exerting a profound influence on music culture from the 1990s to the present. This special edition spotlights KIRINJI, one of Japan's most celebrated songwriting teams and pop groups.
