Double LP version. Glossy gatefold sleeve; Includes insert with Japanese lyrics and English translations. Minyo Crusaders rework historic Japanese folk songs (min'yō) with Latin, African, Caribbean, and Asian rhythms for their debut album Echoes of Japan. Releases from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono, and Midori Takada have re-ignited global interest in Japanese music and Echoes of Japan marks the arrival of a big band like no other. "For Japanese people, min'yō is both the closest, and most distant, folk music," explains band-leader Katsumi Tanaka: "We may not feel it in our daily, urban lives, yet the melodies, the style of singing and the rhythm of the taiko drums are engrained in our DNA." Initially indifferent to min'yō, a tragic event in recent Japanese history set Tanaka on his current path: "Following the Tohoku earthquake of 2011, I reflected on my life, work and identity. A fan of world music, I began searching for Japanese roots music I could identify with. Discovering mid-late 20th century acts Hibari Misora, Chiemi Eri and the Tokyo Cuban Boys, I was captivated by their eccentric arrangements and how they mixed min'yō with Latin and jazz." Originally sung by fishermen ("Kushimoto Bushi"; "Mamurogawa Ondo"), coal miners ("Tanko Bushi") and sumo wrestlers ("Sumo Jinku"), these songs deal with topics such as the returning spirits of ancestors ("Hohai Bushi"), Japan's smallest bird ("Toichin Bushi"), and a bride's love for her husband's pockmarked face ("Otemoyan"). Minyo Crusaders are one of the most hyped acts on the Tokyo music scene that went national in 2018 through festivals such as Fuji Rock. The band features veterans of the Tokyo roots music scene such as bassist DADDY U (Ska Flames), keyboardist Moe (Kidlat), sax player Koichiro Osawa (Matt Sounds, J.J. Session), Yamauchi Stephan (J.J. Session), percussionist Mutsumi Kobayashi (Banda de la Mumbia), conga player Irochi (Cubatumb), and vocalist Meg (DJ collective Tokyo Sabroso). For fans of: Haruomi Hosono, Soundway Records, Analog Africa, Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band.

Good
Color: Grey
Works as it should, but one of the brackets on the leg broke while setting up. Super glue is holding it in just fine.

Not good for putting away daily
Color: Grey
This product may work of you are doing a full install, but is terrible for putting up and taking down daily. I have only had it 2 months and it is falling apart and will not stand straight.

Privacy at ease!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is exactly what we needed for our large house and bedroom sharing with the kids. People need privacy and this can be tucked away when it isn't being used. Perfect!

Easy to put together
Color: Black, Color: Black
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this room divider is designed. The engineering behind it is actually pretty thoughtful. All the pieces line up exactly where you expect them to, and the connectors make assembly almost foolproof. I had it put together in just a few minutes without any frustration or extra tools.
The fabric panels look clean and modern, and the whole unit is surprisingly lightweight. That makes it easy to move around if you want to reconfigure a room or create a quick private space. Even though it’s light, it still feels stable once it’s assembled.
Overall it’s a simple product done right: easy to assemble, easy to move, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I’d definitely buy it again.
