“Hietsuki Bushi” by Omodaka, featuring vocals by enka singer Akiko Kanazawa, from the new album Sanosa. Eric linked me to this video this morning and I basically can’t believe how amazing this track is. Who knew traditional Japanese music and chip tracks could go so well together? Who knows how many times I’m going to listen to this today?

The album is available for download from HearJapan. Each of the 20 tracks is ¥100 each, but if you buy the whole album, it’s just ¥1000/$12.85. And then you don’t have to load up YouTube to listen to this song.
