2024 . Wewantsounds continues it's extensive Meiko Kaji reissue program in partnership with Teichiku Records and Meiko Kaji herself, with the of Gincho Wataridori, her debut album from 1972. The album features the song InchGincho WataridoriInch a theme song for the eponymous gangster film released by Toei Films in 1972 (and known outside of Japan as InchWandering Ginza ButterflyInch). On the cover of the album, Meiko actually wears the kimono she wears in the film. The song showcases Kaji's distinctive singing over a funky backbeat and fuzz guitar. Ginchou Wataridori was produced by two seasoned Teichiku producers, Yorifumi Ito and Kenji Nakajima and features a superb mix of pop songs (InchHakodate MonogatariInch), funky ones (InchKoini Inochio,Inch InchShittoInch) and atmospheric ones (InchJingi KomoriutaInch) making the perfect setting for Meiko Kaji's unique singing, reflecting the cool, dangerous atmosphere of the films she would star in. The first of a series of five LPs produced for Teichiku between 1972 and 1974, Gincho Wataridori marks the beginning of Meiko Kaji's fruitful career as a recording artist and is a unique testament of her singing talent which Wewantsounds reissues in it's full glory with gatefold sleeve, remastered from the original master tapes.
