Osamu Kitajima - Benzaiten Osamu Kitajima
Benzaiten is the seminal 1976 debut album from Japanese multi-instrumentalist Osamu Kitajima, reissued in 2024 on vinyl by Everland. A groundbreaking fusion of Japanese folk melodies, progressive rock, psychedelic textures, and world music, the album is deeply atmospheric and spiritually evocative. Warm analog synths, Japanese percussion, and electric guitar form sweeping soundscapes that recall the improvisational spirit of bands like Amon Düül II and Pink Floyd — if they had been born in Kyoto. A vivid audio journey through ancient landscapes, carried by masterful musicianship and bold cross-cultural experimentation.
