Description
Description
Minyo Groove takes traditional Japanese folk songs - music once tied to everyday working life - and reframes them through the lens of postwar studio creativity, where Minyo collides with afro-latin rhythms, rock energy, rare groove textures, and funk-forward arrangements. Selected by DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite, this compilation digs into King Records’ storied catalog and pulls out gems that feel both rooted and radically reimagined.
The appeal is the contrast: familiar melodic forms pushed into bold, modern settings by skilled musicians, with groove-heavy production that makes these tracks hit like dancefloor tools rather than museum pieces. A key archival moment lands here too - The Peanuts’ “Ohara Bushi,” previously released only on tape in 1970, finally appears on vinyl for the first time.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Are these releases officially licensed?
Absolutely! All the music from our distribution partners comes with official licensing. Royalty from each your purchase on our website goes directly to the right owners, because we support the artists and their hard work. And we stand firmly against bootlegging and counterfeiting.
Do you ship to my location?
We ship worldwide. Available shipping methods are determined by your destination country. To check all available shipping methods, transit times, and prices, please proceed to checkout. You can see this information before payment.
What is a "pre-orders"?
When a product is labeled as "Pre-Order," it indicates that the item is currently in production and will be shipped at a later date. You can always find the estimated shipping timelines in the product description, just below the "Preorder" button. Keep in mind that some records may have limited Pre-Order availability and could sell out before they officially arrive in stock.
If your order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, we will ship complete order within the Estimated Shipping Date window noted on the product page.(In other words, you ave to wait for a pre-order to release before we ship out your order.)
When will I be charged for a pre-order?
We charge your payment method at the time you place the order, even if the item is a pre-order that ships at a later date. This upfront charge secures your reservation for the product. (Don’t worry – if you decide to cancel the pre-order before it ships, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.)
Why there only "estimated shipping date"?
We usually receiving "estimated shipping date" from various suppliers and labels, because sometimes there is delays which beyond our or our partners control. We strive to keep these estimated dates as current as possible, but please remember that they are always approximations and not guaranteed delivery timelines.
Can I return a vinyl record if I don’t like it?
We got you covered in this one! If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, provided it’s in its original condition.
