From J-DIGS—the project bringing Nippon Columbia’s catalog to the world—comes an analog reissue of 6 Japanese Jazz (Wa-Jazz) masterpieces, including Shigeo Sekito's globally celebrated The Word, made famous through samplings by artists like Travis Scott.

 

Resonating with balearic, dreamy, and psychedelic electronic organ tones—featuring the enchanting, magical masterpiece "The Word II"!

"The Word II" gained instant global renown after being interpolated by Mac DeMarco on "Chamber of Reflection" and sampled by Travis Scott and Quavo’s unit HUNCHO JACK on "How U Feel." Shigeo Sekito’s defining work—containing this iconic track—is now reissued on clear color vinyl. It stands as the world's most-listened-to Electone album, drawing immense interest across a broad audience spanning hip-hop, balearic, and dream-pop enthusiasts alike.

 

This limited reissue will be released on Japan Record Day on November 3rd, 2026, the color vinyl comes in a deluxe gatefold design with new liner notes.
