Originally released in 1976, Yoshiko Sai's Mikkou is a haunting and visionary record that blends electronic textures, jazz, and rock into something entirely its own. The album drifts through a fragile, dreamlike soundscape, with standout moments like the samba-inflected "Tenshi No Youni," which weaves together flute and electric piano, and the cinematic closing title track — whose name translates to "hidden."
This Wewantsounds release marks the first time Mikkou has been made officially available outside of Japan, making it a significant moment for fans of Japanese avant-garde and world music. For listeners drawn to adventurous, atmospheric music that defies easy categorization, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of Japan's most distinctive and underheard voices.
