The record shows why Watanabe became one of Japan’s most respected guitarists: fleet, technically assured and fluent in both contemporary jazz and electric fusion. Its blend of original compositions such as “Liquid Fingers”, “Unicorn” and the title piece helped define his international reputation, while the album’s title and track names underline its distinctive Japanese identity. Widely regarded as one of his key releases, it remains an essential statement from the country’s late-1970s and early-1980s jazz scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Kazumi Watanabe\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Better Days – YX-7265-ND\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_japan\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1980\"\u003e1980\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-jazz\"\u003eContemporary Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fusion\"\u003eFusion\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Liquid+Fingers+=+%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA\"\u003eLiquid Fingers = リキッド・フィンガーズ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Black+Canal+=+%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB\"\u003eBlack Canal = ブラック・カナル\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+To+Chi+Ka+=+%E3%83%88%E3%83%81%E3%82%AB\"\u003eTo Chi Ka = トチカ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Cokumo+Island+=+%E3%82%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89\"\u003eCokumo Island = コクモ・アイランド\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Unicorn+=+%E3%83%A6%E3%83%8B%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3\"\u003eUnicorn = ユニコーン\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Don't+Be+Silly+=+%E3%83%89%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%83%BB%E3%83%93%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC\"\u003eDon'T Be Silly = ドント・ビー・シリー\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Sayonara+=+%E3%82%B5%E3%83%A8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%A9\"\u003eSayonara = サヨナラ\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Kazumi+Watanabe+Manhattan+Flu+Dance+=+%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%83%8F%E3%83%83%E3%82%BF%E3%83%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%83%95%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%83%80%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9\"\u003eManhattan Flu Dance = マンハッタン・フルー・ダンス\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Better Days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44385426407489,"sku":"8532480","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/NS00ODg1LnBuZw.jpg?v=1786520302","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/kazumi-watanabe-kazumi-watanabe-to-chi-ka-343383","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
