V/A - Heisei No Oto - Japanese Left-Field Pop From The CD Age (1989-1996) 2xLP

Label: Light In The Attic

Music From Memory is excited to announce a special compilation that they’ve been working on for some time now.

The title of the compilation Heisei No Oto refers to the sound of the Heisei era, which began in 1989 and corresponds to the reign of Emperor Akihito until his abdication in 2019. Marking the culmination of one of the most rapid economic growths in Japanese history, 1989 also coincided with the music industry’s final shift away from vinyl in favor of CDs. And, although compact discs were first introduced seven years earlier it wasn’t until late into the ‘80s that, beyond dance music labels, CDs became the exclusive format for major and independent labels in Japan and throughout the world.

This is an exciting chapter in Japanese musical history that has only just begun to be fully explored.
