2003 album by
Tujiko Noriko
on vinyl for the first time, featuring new artwork. Edition of 500 copies with black poly-lined inners, and download featuring eight tracks. Keplar presents the first-ever vinyl edition of the 2003 album
From Tokyo to Naiagara
by Tujiko Noriko. This reissue with new artwork by
Joji Koyama
is an abridged version of the album as Tomlab label owner
Tom Steinle
and producer
Aki Onda
had originally intended to publish it alongside the original CD version. Written by the France-based Tujiko while she still lived in Japan,
From Tokyo to Naiagara
followed up on her two seminal
Mego
albums and marked a turning point in both the artist's career and personal life. Tujiko worked primarily with a Yamaha synthesizer and an MPC sampler while also incorporating contributions by other musicians such as Onda,
Riow Arai
, and
Sakana Hosomi
into the pieces. Sometimes approaching an IDM and clicks'n'cuts-style production or working with trip-hop and hip-hop beats while using conventional song structures in the most unconventional of ways, the album showcases her multifaceted influences and skills as a singer and musician to full effect. Tujiko describes producing it in close collaboration with Onda, who would relocate to New York City shortly after, as "quite Tokyo and very local." This music is looking back while moving forward. It is probably no surprise that its reissue too evokes tender memories of Onda and Steinle in Tujiko, while also reminding her of what lies ahead. Influenced in equal parts by the experience of strolling through previously unknown Tokyoite back alleys and thinking about the paths not (yet) taken,
From Tokyo to Naiagara
is precisely that: the perfect travel companion for a journey that leads its listeners from past to future.
