Hiroshi Yasukawa

Fission is a long-lost gem of Japanese city pop, originally released only in Australia under the name “Hiroshi.” The artist behind the album is none other than Shiroshi Yasukawa, the revered guitarist known for his work with Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media’s Funky Stuff, Kingo Hamada’s Midnight Cruisin', and Hatsumi Shibata’s Live/Entertainment Special.

Now reissued for the first time in over four decades, Fission returns on vinyl complete with obi strip and made-in-Japan production quality. A smooth blend of mellow grooves, breezy melodies, and heartfelt songwriting, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙗𝙪𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩-𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙥 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝘼𝙊𝙍.
