Our Take

SAORI YUKI 1969, the latest album from Japanese folk singer Saori Yuki, is a delicious dive into the psychedelic sounds of the swinging sixties. Released at the tail end of the Summer of Love, this album is a whimsical journey through Yuki's angelic voice and experimental instrumentation.

From the opening track "Ame no Symphony" to the hauntingly beautiful "Himitsu no Akko Chan," Saori Yuki captivates listeners with her ethereal vocals and soul-stirring melodies. The dreamy arrangements, courtesy of famed composer Hiroshi Miyagawa, transport you to a world of peace, love, and flower power.

But don't be fooled by the album's sweet exterior - there's a rebellious spirit lurking beneath the surface. Tracks like "Yokohama Tasogare" and "Nagisa no Shindobaddo" inject a dose of rock 'n' roll attitude into the mix, proving that Saori Yuki is more than just a pretty voice.

With its blend of traditional Japanese folk music, Western influences, and avant-garde experimentation, SAORI YUKI 1969 is a must-listen for any music lover craving something out of the ordinary. So grab your incense, put on your bell-bottoms, and let Saori Yuki take you on a groovy trip down memory lane. Peace, love, and rock on!
