Some words: YASUI KAZUMI: “Sora Ni Ichiban Chikai Kanashimi” (Philips – FS-8002) Her second and final album, original first pressing out of 1971. Yasui Kazumi was a renowned essayist, fashion model and poetess who only recorded two albums, being “Zuzu” and “Sora ni Ichiban Chikai Kanashimi”. Both recordings are highly regarded as soft rocking psychedelic pearls against which Yasui recites her poetry in a sultry soft-spoken voice that simply puts you under a spell you hope never to be awaken from. The musical background is always subtle rather than of the dramatic kind, mostly a leisurely first gear pace as melody ripples gently around the periphery of her silky sexy voice, vocals and poetry. Her poetry set to music is the perfect encapsulation of beauty meeting elemental force and suggests that capturing this sense of natural perfection is something to generate excitement. The album is the perfect successor to “Zuzu”, picking up where the former left off and taking it a step further and deeper, making it a more stripped down affair where less is definitely more. It shows that Yasui was the hippy-chick poetess gifted with apart from being a talented word juggler, her strong articulations also led to denseness that never sounded cluttered or untidy but blessed the music with an air of girlish spontaneity, present in her phrasing and cadence and that together with the melodic development and transmutation shaped swirling into existence a highly bewitching recording. And for that, Yasui Kazumi became one of the finest – be it criminally under-recorded female vocalists to seep out of Japan. Fantastic record, hyper rare, original 1971 pressing with complete booklet present.
