Easy, Breezy, Japaneezy – now on translucent blue 10" vinyl.
This hand-numbered collector’s item is the very first pressing of Harachan’s music—limited to just 300 copies worldwide. It’s more than a record. It’s an investment: In a piece of City Pop revival, a standout debut, me as and artist and in a vinyl release that’s as rare as it is valuable.
Pressed on high-quality vinyl and wrapped in a classic Japanese obi-strip, this release blends nostalgia and design into a must-have for fans of retro sound and unique physical media.
Own it now—or watch it pop up on eBay in a couple years for ten times the price while you cry into your vinyl collection.
Harachan was born somewhere between a Tokyo karaoke joint and a late-night ramen shop—a nickname gifted to Norwegian writer and director Harald Furuholmen by friends who couldn’t quite pronounce his name. Splitting his time between Oslo and Tokyo, Harachan draws inspiration from classic City Pop, singing in Japanese, english and blending vintage grooves with personal storytelling. His debut vinyl, produced by Magnus Bechmann Hansen, is a warm, synth-soaked postcard from another time.
Harachan(ハラチャン)は、東京のカラオケルームと深夜のラーメン屋の間で生まれました。日本の友人たちに名前をうまく発音してもらえなかったことから、ノルウェー出身の作家・映画監督ハラルド・フルホルメンに贈られた愛称です。
オスロと東京を行き来しながら、Harachanは80年代のシティポップにインスパイアされ、日本語で歌い、自身の物語をレトロなグルーヴにのせて表現しています。プロデューサーのマグナス・ベクマン・ハンセンとの共作によるデビューアナログ盤は、まるで別の時代から届いた、あたたかくてシンセに包まれたポストカードのような作品です。
