OK, krecemo u seriju japanske erotske muzike!
Za pocetak pravi biser i jedna od najboljih ploca ikada objavljenih bilo gde - predivna Ike Reiko (sto se sa fotke na omotu bas i ne da zakljuciti, ali verujte na rec) i njen jedini album "Kokotsu No Sekai" - u prevodu "Svet ekstaze Ike Reiko".
Posto ne verujem da je Reiko opste poznata, red je da kazem rec-tri o njoj: pocela je filmsku karijeru ranih 70-ih kao sedamnaestogodisnjakinja glumeci u niskobudzetnim erotskim filmovima. Snimila ih je gomilu i nedavno je krenulo sa izdavanjem tih filmova na DVDs za englesko govorno podrucje - hvala majstoru Chris D.-u iz Flesheaters/Divine Horsemen, koji je probudio interesovanje na zapadu za ove filmove!
Dva najpoznatija - "Sex & Fury" i "Female Yakuza Boss" su savrsenstvo z-grade filma. Mislim, u prvih 10 minuta "Sex & Fury" Reiko pobije gomilu napasnika, boreci se sve vreme gola po zimi i snegu. Ko voli belosvetskog lopova Tarantina treba da pogleda ove filmove i vidi odakle je (izmedju ostalog) ovaj nazovi reziser krao.
Elem, 1971 Reiko snima ovaj album, koji se sastoji od obrada mahom poznatijih japanskih pesama. Svih 12 stvari su veoma slusljive i pitke bez obzira na nepoznavanje jezika. Muzika je vrlo "smooth" i "groovy", ne mnogo drugacije od onoga sto je radio Serge Gainsbourg, na primer.
Ipak, ono sto cini ovaj album jos uzbudljivijim, osim odlicnih orkestracija, aranzmana i predivnog vokala, su uzdasi, krici i saputanja mladjane (u ono vreme) Ike Reiko. Dok slusam ovaj album, na momente osecam da cu da zaplacem, saosecajuci sa Reikonom usamljenoscu i patnjom. Na momente, ipak, osecam da cu da napunim gace, spreda, gustom belom tecnoscu
Kad joj je filmska karijera krenula nizbrdo, Reiko je uhapsena zbog droge i veze sa mafijom. Posle pustanja iz zatvora gubi joj se svaki trag. Cim dobijem na lotou krecem u Japan u potragu za izgubljenom kraljicom!
Album "Kokotsu No Sekai" je navodno radejn u samo 500 primeraka, pa je izuzetno tesko naci ga na vinilu. Zahvaljujuci fenomenalnom izdavacu Tiliqua Records, pre godinu dana uradjeno je CD reizdanje sa originalnih traka. Prvih 1000 komada je otislo pre nego sto si mogao da kazes "ikuyo" (srecom, na vreme sam ga ugrabio), jos 3-4 reizdanja je uradjeno od tada.
Od 12 pesama tesko je izdvojiti najbolju, ali ipak to je "Koi No Dorei" - "Robinja ljubavi", obrada pesme od Okumura Chiyo. Takodje, odmah za njom je "Tenshin Ni Narenai" - "Ne mogu da budem andjeo" - naravno Reiko, naravno djavolice moja!

1. IKE REIKO: "Kôkotsu no Sekai" (Tiliqua Records - TILAR-5002CD)
Tiliqua Records continues its quest of digging up lost and forgotten sonic gems out of the bowels of oblivion. This time Tiliqua Records is more than thrilled to be granted the permission to unleash one of Japan's rarest erotic artifacts being Ike Reiko's sole recorded album out of 1971. Heralded by those few who have been blessed with an original copy of this ultra rare disc as the ultimate Iroke Kakyoku album that even surmounts Sandra Julian's "Sexy Poem" on the brutality scale as far as unabashed, urbane eroticism, a calculated addition of licentious overtones and unbridled carnal insinuations are concerned. Ike Reiko is mainly known as one of Japan's finest early seventies porn and pink violence starlets, tearing up screens with her naked presence in such films as "Sôkatsu Rinchi" of Ishii Teruo, the The "Sukebanchô" series and "Onsen Mimizu Geisha" of Suzuki Norifumi. Until now, this sonic gem has never been reissued and Tiliqua Records acquired the legal rights from Teichiku Records in order to restore this masterpiece to its former glory and introducing it anew. In an attempt to describe the sonic sleazyness the disc venture into, here is a snippet out of the extensive linernotes. "Her erotic presence flutters across a multitude of erogenous non-verbal modes - moaning and uttered shrieks of ecstatic pleasure, sibilating suffocated whispers of excitement, and grunting and growling like a bitch in heat. When Ike does sing, it is in a subdued, husky voice about sex, submissive love and seduction. Although all the songs are cover versions, Ike confines herself to whispering but a small part of the original lyrics, spending the remainder on guttural erotic incantations backed by the desolate sound of a cheesy organ and a muffled yet ecstatic mellifluous vocal sound that is reminiscent of the 13th Floor Elevators’ Tommy Hall breathing down a jug. The entire recording is suffused with a unique atmosphere, a ripe and heady Japanese eroticism now sadly overwhelmed by the intrusive and infelicitous import of cheap Westernized thrills and assorted uneuphonious cultural junk. Nevertheless, Kôkotsu no Sekai launched Ike as the nightingale of the pink new wave." (JW) One-time only legit and limited reissue housed in a sturdy mini-LP styled fold out jacket and adorned with obi strip. Original artwork. Digital remastering from master tapes. Comes with extensive liner notes by Johan Wellens. 1st, 2nd & 3rd pressing each of 1000 copies & 4th press of 500 copies SOLD OUT
