After 15 years or so, Shang Shang Typhoon are still one of Japan's best roots bands. Their music is a mix of Japanese style pop, Okinawan, and other Asian and world sounds. The two female singers, Emi and Satoko are on fine form, as is their leader, composer and banjo player Koryu. This is their 11th album with a good mix of songs from ballads to funky numbers.
