Masanori Kikuchi, the genius pianist affectionately known as “Poo-san,” left a major mark on Japanese jazz history with his innovative 1970 album POO-SUN.

Recorded at Victor Studio, the session brought together top-tier players who represent Japan’s jazz scene, including Kosuke Mine and Hideo Ichikawa.

At the time, Kikuchi was strongly influenced by Miles Davis, and his musical curiosity crystallized into a fresh sound that fused fusion and the avant-garde.

All six tracks were newly composed by Kikuchi, and the experimental approach—incorporating elements of free improvisation—still shines with undimmed brilliance today.

This landmark album is highly recommended for those who want to push beyond the conventional boundaries of jazz or are seeking a new musical experience.

The song “DADA,” released as their ninth major-label single.

While RADWIMPS often lean toward softer sounds among Japanese rock bands, this track stands out as one of their heaviest.

Despite the heavy instrumentation, the vocal line itself is straightforward with a narrow range, making it far easier to sing than the overall impression might suggest.

However, because the lyrics weave together many words, breath control can be somewhat challenging.

Be sure to use the rests to steady your breathing as you sing.
