Real - Ippu-Do - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Ippu-Do’s 'Real' stands as an essential artifact from Japan’s fertile early ‘80s music scene—a period where boundaries between pop, electronic, and art music gleefully dissolved. Led by the enigmatic Masami Tsuchiya, Ippu-Do’s third studio album gleams with a bold, experimental spirit, weaving lush synth textures, playful rhythms, and a cosmopolitan sense of melody. The band’s deft use of electronic instrumentation—then still a rare and thrilling prospect—gives 'Real' a sense of discovery and urgency that remains fresh decades later. Tsuchiya’s vocals sway between delicate introspection and theatrical flair, while the arrangements flirt with everything from icy minimalism to exuberant, danceable grooves. For vinyl collectors and devotees of Japanese synthpop, 'Real' is a must-have, not only for its distinctive sound but for its place at the crossroads of East-meets-West new wave. This is an album that rewards attentive listening, revealing new layers with every spin—a testament to Ippu-Do’s forward-thinking artistry. Owning 'Real' means owning a piece of long-overlooked electronic history, and a reminder of how innovation and emotional resonance can coexist on the same record.
