Combined with the masterful arrangements of Hiromasa Suzuki, the groove is polished to a high sheen, growing richer, more fluid, and subtly seductive.\nEvery track stands out: the vibrant, driving energy of “Painted Paradise”; the coexistence of funkiness and mellowness on “Breeze”; and the low-slung, razor-sharp cover of Kool \u0026amp; The Gang’s “Funky Stuff”.\nNow regarded as a definitive classic, this album remains in constant demand from listeners around the world.\nText by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS \/ DEEP JAZZ REALITY)\n\n★ Specifications common to both titles ★\n“Made in Japan” quality that has captured global attention.\nThis release uses luxurious uncolored virgin vinyl, completely free of coloring agents such as carbon that could affect sound quality. Manufactured using only high-purity PVC and pressed to a heavyweight 180g, it delivers superior rotational stability and a rich, expansive soundstage. A Pure Vinyl \/ 180g heavyweight pressing designed to let you fully experience its razor-sharp sonic image.\"\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Japanese 180g 1LP \"Clear\" Colored, Pure Vinyl Limited Edition [PRE-ORDER, Release Date: 26-AUG-2026]","offer_id":45480401764396,"sku":"HMJY-237","price":325.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/0461\/9308\/files\/JiroInagaki_HisSoulMedia-InTheGroovec1cover.jpg?v=1776932522","url":"https:\/\/whitenoiserecords.org\/products\/%e7%a8%b2%e5%9e%a3%e6%ac%a1%e9%83%8e-jiro-inagaki-soul-media-funky-stuff-2","provider":"WHITE NOISE RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
