Heisei Fūzoku (平成風俗, "Heisei Customs"), also known as Japanese Manners, is a studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena and conductor and violinist Neko Saitō, released on February 21, 2007. The vinyl record version and the DVD "Daiginjou" were released on April 25, 2007. This album serves as the soundtrack for the movie Sakuran (さくらん).
Ringo Sheena initially intended to create a highly produced, computer-based sound for the soundtrack and went as far as to record some instrumental demos. However, director Mika Ninagawa demanded songs with lyrics, so she decided to record orchestrated versions using Neko Saitō's arrangements, which he had previously written for her concerts.[1] Though she originally intended to make this album with Tokyo Jihen, drummer Toshiki Hata broke his leg and thus only the other band members were able to participate. Ukigumo played guitar on "Gamble" and wrote "Oiran", while Ichiyō Izawa played piano on "Gamble" and Seiji Kameda arranged "Yokushitsu". The song "Karisome Otome (Tameikesannoh Ver.)" was recorded in September 2006.[2]
The term fūzoku (風俗), as used in the title, is also used to refer to prostitution and the Japanese sex industry. The film Sakuran is about an oiran, a high-ranking prostitute. The title of the album thus has a double meaning.
All tracks written by Ringo Sheena and arranged by Neko Saitō, except where noted.
