Japanese Artists – king24

This is from a Japanese LP (the King Records label) issued around 1968. If anybody can translate it then maybe you’d best not say, because I’ll want you to translate all 14 pieces on the LP.

What’s really nice is the style of backing vocals – a chorus of female Sprechgesangers (doubtless there’s a Japanese term for this) reciting, not singing, the accompaniment. It’s certainly not ordinary talking or declamatory, but clearly disciplined. Gorgeous.
