It's got a fresh and moody soundscape resonating with either [ethereal] and melodic ambience or driving guitar riffs, and captivating drums that would impress even [Akira] Yamaoka himself.\" – Fungo of Twin Perfect, SilentHillMedia.net\n\"A very refreshing artist. His mixture of rock and atmospheric music is very unique. 'surreal, so real' is a fantastic example of his style, mixing traditional [Okinawan] music elements with timeless rock music, and even techno flavors. The result is very special, an eerie sound-scape with clearly defined melodic passages that act like puzzle pieces in a story.\" – Rasec [Britain]\n“You can hear that you put a lot of time in it and really put attention to the different layers and creating opposites. It’s dreamy but also raw reality! … Together with the story behind the EP, it makes this EP very interesting to listen to!” – ɱiɣuki ɖɑɣ [Netherlands]\n**********\nACKNOWLEDGMENTS & PRODUCTION CREDITS:\nthe title for \"Uchina noir: The Cocktail Party\" was taken from\nTatsuhiro Oshiro’s 1967 novella of the same name\nsynopses written with assistance from Andor Czigeledi\nartwork model: Terumi Shimazu\ninfinite thank you’s to those who’ve assisted me with this project:\nMaggie Peng, Andor Czigeledi, Noah Golderg, Jo-Ann Irvin, Michael Daugherty, Miyuki Day, Jason Michael [Dah2]\nall tracks written, performed, and recorded by\nJoseph Yoshimasu Kamiya\nin loving memory of Auntie Irene Ike [1962 ~ 2008]\nand Grandma Yoshiko Kamiya [1915 ~ 2012]\n“UCHINA NOIR” BACKGROUND:\n“…had the [Japanese] military regarded non-combatants as coming under their protection, evacuations [of Okinawan civilians] would have been unnecessary and the collective self-killings that took place in the Kerama Islands, Iejima, Yomitan, and Mabuni would never have been carried out. In reality, non-combatants were far from being protected by the military. Instead, they found themselves in a situation where they were attacked by tigers at the front gate (the enemy troops) and wolves at the back gate (their own troops).” – Masahide Ota, Re-examining the History of the Battle of Okinawa (1985)", "organizations": [ { "names": { "en": "Yoshimasu Kamiya", "ja": "Yoshimasu Kamiya", "ja-latn": "Yoshimasu Kamiya" }, "role": "publisher" } ], "performers": [], "picture_full": "https://media.vgm.io/albums/70/155207/155207-dc3b40490395.jpg", "picture_small": "https://medium-media.vgm.io/albums/70/155207/155207-dc3b40490395.jpg", "picture_thumb": "https://thumb-media.vgm.io/albums/70/155207/155207-dc3b40490395.jpg", "platforms": [ "Microsoft Xbox", "PC", "Sony PlayStation 2" ], "products": [ { "names": { "en": "Silent Hill series" } } ], "publish_format": "Doujin/Indie", "publisher": { "names": { "en": "Yoshimasu Kamiya", "ja": "Yoshimasu Kamiya", "ja-latn": "Yoshimasu Kamiya" }, "role": "publisher" }, "related": [ { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/18321", "names": { "en": "Silent Hill Fan Soundtrack", "ja": "Silent Hill Fan Soundtrack", "ja-latn": "Silent Hill Fan Soundtrack" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/18319", "names": { "en": "Broken Notes ~ Music Inspired by the Works of A...", "ja": "Broken Notes ~ Music Inspired by the Works of A...", "ja-latn": "Broken Notes ~ Music Inspired by the Works of A..." }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/18320", "names": { "en": "Broken Notes 2: Melancholy ~ Inspired by the Wo...", "ja": "Broken Notes 2: Melancholy ~ Inspired by the Wo...", "ja-latn": "Broken Notes 2: Melancholy ~ Inspired by the Wo..." }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/155212", "names": { "en": "Broken Notes From the Vault", "ja": "Broken Notes From the Vault", "ja-latn": "Broken Notes From the Vault" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29145", "names": { "en": "Broken Notes Sanatorium ~ Music Inspired by Sil...", "ja": "Broken Notes Sanatorium ~ Music Inspired by Sil...", "ja-latn": "Broken Notes Sanatorium ~ Music Inspired by Sil..." }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29152", "names": { "en": "ashes of bitterness", "ja": "ashes of bitterness", "ja-latn": "ashes of bitterness" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29161", "names": { "en": "Letters from Condemned Worlds", "ja": "Letters from Condemned Worlds", "ja-latn": "Letters from Condemned Worlds" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29158", "names": { "en": "MUSIC INSPIRED BY SILENT HILL", "ja": "MUSIC INSPIRED BY SILENT HILL", "ja-latn": "MUSIC INSPIRED BY SILENT HILL" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29157", "names": { "en": "Endless Delusions", "ja": "Endless Delusions", "ja-latn": "Endless Delusions" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29151", "names": { "en": "_The Art Of Dying_", "ja": "_The Art Of Dying_", "ja-latn": "_The Art Of Dying_" }, "type": "doujin" } ], "release_date": "2012-07-20", "release_events": [], "release_price": { "currency": "USD", "price": 3.0 }, "reprints": [], "stores": [ { "link": "http://yoshimasukamiya.bandcamp.com/album/surreal-so-real", "name": "Bandcamp" }, { "link": "http://silenthillmedia.net/fm-audio.htm", "name": "silenthillmedia.net" }, { "link": "http://www.silenthillmemories.net/music/fan_albums_en.htm", "name": "www.silenthillmemories.net" }, { "link": "http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1mmcY8fIv3OvARVwEJ1_0Mi5-Nu6xpst", "name": "YouTube" } ], "vgmdb_link": "https://vgmdb.net/album/155207?perpage=99999", "votes": 0 }
