{"product_id":"kiyoaki-iwamoto-sougi","title":"Kiyoaki Iwamoto Sougi +","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecember 1982, Tokyo. Kiyoaki Iwamoto has a guitar, a simple rhythm box, a friend with a bass guitar, and some stripped-down songs, brazen in their post-punk simplicity, irritation and controlled aggression, yet full of sadness and resignation. Five songs, including a rearranged version of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” are recorded and released on a now extremely rare 7” record. This release, available on 10” vinyl, CD, or digital download, features those five songs, along with a previously unreleased 1980 live performance by his duo Birei, as well as a 2020 reworking of “Love …” , by the Japanese duo Chisato and Junta. Iwamoto was an enigma, active in the post-punk scene in Japan in the late 70s and early 80s, a member of Birei and founding member of Guys \u0026amp; Dolls with Tori Kudo (Maher Shalal Hash Baz); in the mid-80s he cut contact with his friends, disavowing his name and later performing under a different moniker.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e16-page booklet (CD), fold-out insert (LP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLiner notes by Koki Emura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eEnglish text \u0026amp; lyrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e EM1193 -Artist-Kiyoaki Iwamoto\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 10” Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/9\/20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: World Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kiyoaki Iwamoto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53427062210744,"sku":"NKKRB5-TJZ3-YN","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/kiyoaki-iwamoto-sougi-_1NVoe.jpg?v=1777647991","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/kiyoaki-iwamoto-sougi","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
