Kayōkyoku singer Nagisa Yōko suddenly passed away in September just days after performing part of a Crazy Ken Band concert, ahead of her annual recital which was to be held in November. R.I.P. to a great singer and entertainer.
Although this 7" single had already been announced, the release sadly became posthumous. The A-side is a take on standard "Zundoko bushi" with original lyrics written by Yokoyama Ken (Crazy Ken Band), and the B-side is a cover of Pinkara Trio's "onna no michi" (1972). Both are great groovy tracks! The jacket artwork was done by painter Yoshioka Rina.
