Japanese Sci-Fi References

Fun post time!
NARASAKI is a huge sci-fi fan.
Here are some references he used:

NARASAKI got his alias, Goro Watari, from the main character of Inazuman (1973).

SADESPER RECORD got it's name from Sadespar.

U-DESPER RECORDS (NARASAKI's record label) got it's name from Udespar.

The characters on THE VISITORS FROM DEEPSPACE album art are loosely based off of Alien Zetton from Ultraman or Kemur Man from Ultra Q.

Hedorian Forever is a reference to Queen Hedrian from Denshi Sentai Denziman (1980).

Sadesper Record & Goro Watari

I just received my copy of Sadesper Record's A sort of Sound Track for U.F.O.!

I'm sorry for not updating COTD FAN lately, but I have been busy with college.
I plan on including scans from this CD!

Unfortunately, the CD does not contain any lyrics...
However, here's some interesting information:

The music was for an independent movie called, U.F.O. which was directed by YU-ICHI SUKIGARA of GOD X DOG Production. Sadly, his website is not available anymore... All I know is that the movie was released in 2004 and it was a 90-minute film. The SIESTA music video is supposedly their trailer.

In this release, NARASAKI goes by the alias, GORO WATARI.

A while back, I purchased another rare CD: Goro Watari - Hinode Tracks [2008].

I will provide scans in a future COTD FAN update...

The CD came in a thick paper cover and paper slip. The package also included a piece of paper with the album artwork. Not that much information is known on Hinode Tracks other than it was a collaboration project and there were a few yearly releases. I THINK this CD was just a collection of all of NARASAKI's tracks in all the Hinode Tracks that someone decided to put together.
If you like ambience electronic music, I think you'd like this CD.
