About 谷ナオミ
Naomi Tani (谷ナオミ, Tani Naomi?) is a Japanese actress who is best known for her appearances in Nikkatsu's Roman Porno films with an S&M theme during the 1970s. First time ever legit reissue of this ultra-rare erotic artifact. Tani Naomi was Japan's finest bondage and S&M Queen who tore up cinema screens during the better part of the 1970s. This album, originally recorded and released in April 1979 was Tani's farewell statement to the world of porn. Here she delivers one of the finest examples of Showa-induced feminine erotics, hovering sexually tinted narrations over a background of kayokyoku themes and lush orchestrations. Tani recorded this album to commemorate her withdrawal from the porn business. Seen in retropsect, the disc stands out as one of the top 5 erotic albums to come out of Japan. Still her musical endeavor is an odd one amongst the other Iroke chanteuses. Right from the opening on, Tani's direction becomes clear with her narrating in a teasingly melancholic way over a kayokyoku backing track. The effect is stunning, an utterly fornlorn sense of the Showa erotic. Compared to the hard stuff she depicted on screen, the album feels muted in a cloud of pink. But still, she brilliantly succeeds in conveying the atmosphere of true Japanese eroticism, a fleeting and fragile emotion that evaporated in the cynical miasma of the eighties. On this recording, she gave voice to a libidinousness and the sensuality that trembled on the brink of extinction, the sexual appetite of an era soon to be swallowed up by the destructive forces of the 20th century. Tani naomi was truly the last to emit the intoxicating perfumes of Showa eroticism, as "Modae no Heya" perfectly illustrates. CD will be out on February 27th. Housed in a deluxe mini-LP sleeve styled jacket, complete with linernotes, obi and original artwork. Digital remastering from original masters. Limited one time only press of 1300 copies. SOLD OUT
