VinylLP pressing. Obi strip; Includes insert. Wewantsounds present a reissue of Akiko Yano's Iroha Ni Konpeitou, originally released in 1977. Another superb Akiko Yano album and one of her funkiest, highlighting her singing and songwriting talents. Iroha Ni Konpeitou is perhaps Akiko Yano's best-known album in the Western world not just because of it's striking front cover - a shot by famed photographer Bishin Jumonji featuring Akiko holding an inflatable dolphin. A slick mix of Japanese pop and New York funk, the album was recorded in Tokyo except for the title track which was recorded in NYC with an all-star line-up consisting of Rick Marotta, David Spinozza, Will Lee, and Nicky Marrero. For the rest of the album, Akiko is accompanied by some of the best musicians from the Tokyo music scene gravitating around the groups Happy End and Tin Pan Alley: the ubiquitous Haruomi Hosono on bass, Tatsuo Hayashi on drums, Shigeru Suzuki on guitar, to name just a few. Interestingly, two Hosono compositions are featured on the album: "Ai Ai Gasa" which he recorded on his 1973 landmark debut Hosono House and "Hourou" originally recorded in '75 by singer and musician Chu Kosaka, on the eponymous album Horo. Last but not least, Hideki Matsutake is handling the keyboard programming duties on the album as Yano is playing a wide array of keyboards: Moog IIIc, Mini Moog, String Ensemble, on top of the Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, and Yamaha CP7C. Matsutake would soon become programmer in chief for Yellow Magic Orchestra, touring and playing with them around the world (like Yano herself). Although the album feels very accessible and funky, there are complex keyboard layers underneath as on the first short introduction "KAWAJI", a short electro fantasy, or on such tracks as "Ai Ai Gasa" and "Kino Wa Mou" on which Akiko is playing bass with her Moog, making the album a richly textured and inventive one once you scratch it's surface. The tracks on the album flow effortlessly also highlighting Akiko Yano's superb songwriting and knack for creating fascinating pop song. "Iroha Ni Konpeitou" sounds as fresh and beautiful as when it first came out more than forty years ago and will please the growing circle of Akiko Yano fans around the world as a welcome addition to her brilliant discography. Remastered sound. First release outside of Japan.

Fantastic pillow for the price, adjustable is a different ball-game entirely.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: White
Overall, I'm quite pleased with this. The fact that it is fully adjustable (adding or removing foam, and they give you a bunch extra) is a massive boon as I like pillows to be pretty low profile. It feels nice to the touch, and compresses nicely but not a ton like down. The memory foam that is inside of it seems to be combined with some kind of a harder material, it's all shredded so I can't tell what it is, but it seems like maybe plastic or something of the kind. Hasn't been an issue in any way, but was just weird feeling it when removing foam.
I took a point off because there seems to be some false advertising going on. You can see in their picture that there is a tag that says bamboo side, the other side of that says cooling side. They also mention it in their advertising. As far as I can tell that is not true at all. The cover unzips so that you can remove the material so you can see that there is nothing on either side of it, and both sides appear visually identical to each other. Certainly I would NOT call this a cooling pillow in any way. It's maybe decently cool if you leave it in a cool place for a while, but over the course of the night warms up quite a bit. I did not notice any appreciable difference in the cooling of either side of it.
There is a definite noticeable smell to it, but I wouldn't call it 'bad' like most memory foam things are when they come from the factory. It smells kind of like some kind of cleaning solution in a noticeable but not unpleasant sense. All in all, for the price this is a fantastic pillow and I would definitely recommend it.

Most Comfy Pillow Ever Used
Size: King Size Pack of 2, Color: White
I recently purchased the BETU Cooling King Size Pillows Set of 2, and I have been thoroughly impressed with their quality and performance. These pillows have truly transformed my sleeping experience, making them an essential addition to my bedroom.
First and foremost, the shredded memory foam provides fantastic support while remaining incredibly comfortable. These pillows adapt perfectly to my head and neck, offering excellent support for back, neck pain relief, and side sleeping. The adjustability of the memory foam allows me to customize the firmness to my liking, ensuring a perfect balance between soft and firm support. This customization has made a tremendous difference in my sleep quality, reducing any discomfort and ensuring I wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free.
One of the standout features of these pillows is their cooling capability. As a hot sleeper, I struggled to find pillows that keep me cool throughout the night. The BETU Cooling Pillows effectively dissipate heat and maintain a comfortable temperature, allowing me to enjoy a restful and uninterrupted sleep. The cooling technology is truly a game-changer for anyone who tends to overheat during the night.
The pillow covers are another bonus. They are soft, breathable, and easily removable for washing, ensuring that the pillows remain fresh and hygienic. The white cover adds a clean and elegant look to the bedding, making them aesthetically pleasing as well.
The king size is generous and luxurious, providing ample space and comfort. Whether used for sleeping, lounging, or reading in bed, these pillows offer an unparalleled level of comfort and support.
In summary, the BETU Cooling King Size Pillows Set of 2 is an exceptional product. The combination of shredded memory foam, adjustable firmness, and cooling technology makes these pillows perfect for hot sleepers and those in need of superior support for back and neck pain. The high-quality covers and overall design further enhance their value. I highly recommend these pillows to anyone looking to improve their sleep quality and comfort.

Cool, Supportive, and Great for Hot Sleepers
Size: Queen Size Pack of 2, Color: White
These cooling pillows have been a great upgrade for my sleep. The shredded memory foam provides nice support while still feeling soft and adjustable. I like that the pillows keep their shape and don’t go flat during the night.
The cooling fabric really helps if you tend to sleep warm. They feel breathable and comfortable, especially compared to traditional memory foam pillows that trap heat. The queen size is generous and works well for both side and back sleeping.
Overall, a great value for a set of two pillows. Comfortable, supportive, and noticeably cooler than my old ones. I would definitely buy them again.

Great pillows, needs more filler tho!
Size: King Size Pack of 2, Color: White
Partner says it's the best thing that's ever happened and has helped his back/shoulder pain tremendously. I personally think it needs to give you more fluff or whatever the filling is. Because the tiny bag that comes btwn the two was not enough! However, still comfy, filling is nice and fluffy like a cloud.
