Mari Tutui - Aisuredo Kokoro Sabishiku (1971) [24bit FLAC]

Cult kayokyoku chanteuse Mari Tutui most revered album out of 1971 vibrating with beat kayo excursions and veering even towards go-go sleaze and smokey lounge vibes.

R&B sultry girlie beat tracks also pass the revue and Mari’s voice is all the time quivering with a enka styled vibe set against lushly orchestrated strings ,swirling beat, Latin beefed up steaming action, late night lounge butt-rubbing and smoke-filled nicotine stained sax lines.

Hell she even tackles Ike Reiko’s pink classic “Sasurai No Guitar” but instead of treating it as again a sexy moaner Mari turns it into a fuzz bass infected swirling demented head twister burling over with bongo hand percussive rattles, kerosene derelict torturously swinging Hammond riffage and sharp guitar cutting ostinatos, incinerating all hip-shaking action right there on the spot. Another insane Ike Reiko moaning cover passes the revue in the shape of “Keiken”, here also performed in a pink puffing moaning mood but injected with more go-go beat girl deranged R&B moves.

Imagine locked up vixens shaking in golden cages with feathered boas hanging down their hips and you get a hint as to what kind of coke and funky sex crazed heights this disc dwells off into. Revered by female vocalist maniacs and early 70s kayokyoku beat, Mari Tutui’s first album is one gem that only on rare occasions seems to turn up.
