Yamasuki
Le monde Fabuleux des Yamasuki
Released under the name Yamasuki, also referred to as The Yamasuki Singers, or The Yamasukiโs, the project was never intended as a conventional band. It was a studio-born fantasy, a concept album disguised as a pop record. What began as a standalone single quickly expanded into a full-blown pan-cultural pop opera that ignored genres and common sense with joyful abandon.
Musically, the album sits at a delirious crossroads. ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฅ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐จ, ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ช๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ช๐ข ๐ข๐๐ก๐ค๐๐๐๐จ, ๐๐ช๐ก๐ก ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ช๐จ๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ช๐๐ค-๐

The albumโs afterlife did not stop there. Over the years, Yamasuki has been quietly sampled, covered, and featured across media far beyond the realm of novelty pop. ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ค ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ช (๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ณ), ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐ช๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐, ๐ฌ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐ก๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก.
This new reissue of Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki proves the renewed interest and respect for this cult album, faithful to the original spirit while finally giving it back the physical presence it deserves. In an era obsessed with genres and algorithmic neatness, Yamasuki still laughs, dances and karate-kicks its way past definitions. It reminds us that pop music can be playful without being disposable, strange without being cynical and joyful without explanation.
