The long overdue Seiko Oomori thread

[deadgrandma]

Tower Records have heaps of Oomori stuff according to my mate. Try there I suppose.

A full (shorter) set of Tokarev from last year. Not bad for an unofficial recording.

Tokarev

Thanks deadgrandma for the clarification...I thought it might have been (but wasn't trying to gloat about it). The guitar tabs inside and Seiko's liner notes for them are definitely a cool addition. Maybe I'll finally be motivated to pick up guitar.

As for finding her stuff in Japan, where have you been looking? If you're going to general CD stores it might be hard to find anything before Kyuru Kyuru (anything before avex), I was surprised at how lame most CD shops in Japan are compared to Tower or Disk Union. Then again, in 2013 I went right after all her early albums went out of print so even tower records and other record stores had nothing. Tokyo is usually stocked but if you're out anywhere else the record stores might not have an abundance of stuff.

As for Togawa, I don't think her stuff is in print anymore so it definitely wouldnt be in most places, even tower records. I picked up all stuff related to her in the Used section of various Disk Unions.

I've been checking Book-Offs all around Japan -- and also some general music stores. I was in Tokyo last week but might not go again. Too bad I haven't heard of Disk Unions before now, but didn't see much I liked at Tower Records. Only seen Avex stuff at Book-Off and nothing else elsewhere. For Togawa, I found Dial M, Dadaism from Yapoos and also Showa. Book-Off. Got every Shiina CD I wanted.

If you're in Japan, I'd just take up the free shipping that Amazon orders. Cheaper there anyway.

Meet your new Idol duo that Oomori is writing for (music and lyrics it seems) while she takes her maternity leave.

These two are in some kind of drama too, but I didn't care enough to look into it. Just wanna hear the song(s)!

The young lady on the right is Aonami Jun, from the Seishun Isei Kouyuu PV (and related works)
The young lady with the bob is called Yoshida Rinne; I'm not familiar with her, but I guess she began promoting as and idol sometime last year. Best of luck to the both of them

This news revealed:



Seiko Oomori has songwriting credits for the second A-side of this supergroup, Natsu no Mamomo. The first A-side is written by Mariko Goto. Single is out on 26th of August. A side note: One of the members of The Pink Tokarev is in this band (the guy on the right sporting the Oomori tshirt). I've heard the Goto song and it's well... pretty fucking crazy.

Very interesting development.

Waiting for the inevitable. Goto/Oomori album.

I was cleaning my room and I found a folder of fliers that I got from my Japan trip during New years 2012/2013. Played I-Spy Oomori Seiko and found her in three of them!

When she still gigged at Enban


A gig with Suichuu, sore wa kurushii. The singer was at the end of the Tsumaranai Yoru DVD...and I saw him with Seiko in pics at recent gigs too (suspicious).


Pretty crazy lineup!
