treasure trove of shame
A quick hit of Italo disco! 10 seconds of radio-scanning, a flash of actual japanese, the song playing on a station with weak broadcasting power, and finally you're dipped all the way in (at 36 seconds); bass, then beats, and some power-suited trumpet synth. It's less japanese war game and more pastel-robed eye-shadowed samurai hitting each other with Nerf swords. A moment of danger implied at 4:12, fully realized by the drum machine's eloquent solo, thirty seconds later.
Koto released 4 records in 1993. 'Japanese War Game' is from the "Masterpieces" LP. Beyond that though, I have little in the way of artist information. If anyone knows anything about Koto, it'd be Rich Four Four. However, if you dig this track (which you should), you can download the whole album for a mere 80 cents over here. Enjoy.
