Jitterin Jinn

This is an old Japanese band from the early 90's. Take a listen...







I love it. I really love it. The song moves along like a train, I think, that's what the drum beats remind me of. I'd love to find out what the lyrics mean.

Trying to get my hands on their best-of album... I normally don't seek out old Japanese groups but this one is too good to pass up.

They have a traditional enka vocal sound but with a modern-day background. It's similar to the GO!GO!7188 song "Ukifune" -- it has a sad and mournful sound but with a beat that keeps the movement up. Songs that fuse the old Japanese and the new are some of the best music I can find.

Waaaaaaaaah I like it a whole lot.
