  1. Anyone figure out the for sure what that Sound Cloud Special Edition is
    on www.isaotomita.com?

    What I can tell is neither catalog number (the one on the animated
    interface or the one inside when you click it) is correct as both
    numbers refer to known albums with different contents. The date
    coincides with the Kyoto Sound Cloud and the tracks listed just seem
    typical already heard Tomita tracks as far as I can read (though not in
    a playing order from another best of as far as I know)... so I guess the
    question remains of what is it exactly, something sold at the event or
    maybe only a promo they gave away to VIPs at the event? Are they Kyoto
    recordings or album recordings or prior concert album recordings?


    Anyone have the track list(s) of the Shin Nihon Kikou CD3 single (or
    were there 2??). FWIW I was in tokyo shopping around for Tomita releases
    in 1995. By then the Sound Cloud album was definitely not in Tokyo (if
    it had ever been). As for the Shin Nihon single I saw it at one place,
    pulled out the album which was easy to find and compared, as it was
    clear it was orchestral I really didn't want to take the risk at all of
    buying more of the same, and all the tracks seemed to be on the album.
    So I left it at that and never saw the single again.

    I seem to have seen and repeated what now I think is bad web info on
    "Sennen no Koi - Hikaru Genji Monogatari " as a different DVD-A release.
    Am I correct that there is *no* additional DVD-A release of it, just a
    regular CD release. (I guess being a film there is a video DVD release
    of the movie though)



    Finally what other all Classical synth albums (covers of classical
    music, not music sort of classical in style) are there from Japan? I can
    think of many loose tracks on many albums of other styles but very few
    full albums of just classical synth covers.

    "Epoch 2" by Suguru Matsutani of Bartok music (digital and not that exceptional)

    Electric Satie "Gymnopédie '99" which is more like working satie themes
    loosely into different music styles

    People have claimed Hideki Matsutake did all classical cover album(s) in
    the 70s but I've only run into pop cover albums and original albums by him.

    "Aria on the Wiring" by Susumu Hirasawa & Yasumi Tanaka which is very
    amusing techno Bach from '79 though only properly released in 1994 (gets
    bonus points for vocoder use)

    Not quite classical though Ifubuke is respected as a classical composer
    -- Anyone have any of the 3 "Godzilla Legend" (AKA "Chronology") synth
    cover albums (Makoto Inoue of Hikashu was the synthesist)? They are out
    of print and I'd certainly trade copies of something else out of print
    for them.
