To get back to the topic of Japanese disco, there are recent groups and singers, such as CoCo, Checkicco, Junna Morishita and Marie Suzuki, who have released very disco sounding songs. I am working on a compilation tape of Japanese disco style songs (most from 80s and 90s). When it is completed I will post the song titles here.
(I have been to Japan 8 times. My name is Mr. Rabbit in Japanese.)

Steely, this cut seems real interesting... what LP is it on? :)

e-funk, this track is on the LP 'Yellow Magic Orchestra' from '79. I don't have the LP, I've got it on UK 12" single (extended version 6.20) on yellow vinyl ( :o ) & the b-side is 'Cosmic Surfin' which is also rather good IMO.
