⼩坂忠 Chu Kosaka – ほうろう Horo (2ndプレス) (LP 通常盤)

Chu Kosaka – Horo (ほうろう) 

The monumental masterpiece that stands as the definitive origin of Japanese R&B and City Pop shines brilliantly once again. 2nd pressing, red vinyl. 

Originally released in January 1975, Chu Kosaka’s Horo is widely celebrated by audiophiles and historians as a towering achievement in Japanese music history. While the album was previously revived for a highly sought-after vinyl reissue in 2019, those copies instantly sold out worldwide. 

An All-Star Cast of Musical Icons

The magic of Horo lies not only in Kosaka’s soulful, pioneering vocals but also in the legendary supergroup assembled to bring the music to life. Backed by the iconic studio band Tin Pan Alley, the album acts as a time capsule of genius featuring:

Production & Bass: Haruomi Hosono (later of Yellow Magic Orchestra)
Guitars & Keys: Shigeru Suzuki and Masataka Matsutoya
Drums: Tatsuo Hayashi
Backing Vocals & Arrangements: Tatsuro Yamashita, Minako Yoshida, Taeko Ohnuki, and Akiko...
