Haruomi Hosono's Hosono House is more popular now than it has been at any point since its release in 1974. It has been re-released, re-recorded (backwards, as Hochono House) by Hosono himself, and held up as an all-time classic by artists on both sides of the Pacific.⁠
⁠
Now it has been reimagined again, as Hosono House Revisited, this time by many of the musicians whose art Hosono has inspired. Revisited features a diverse range of artists that reflects the breadth of Hosono House’s influence, including his contemporary and collaborator Akiko Yano, lead cheerleader in North America Mac DeMarco, Flipper’s Guitar co-founder Keigo Oyamada a.k.a. corneliusofficial, and jazz-funk artist johncarrollkirby. It is a fittingly kaleidoscopic tribute.⁠
⁠
Particularly striking, however, is one of the two songs re-recorded in English. Sam Gendel’s spare acoustic cover of “Koi wa Momoiro,” is totally enthralling. Translated fully into English and renamed “My Love Is Peach-Colored,” it is, Hosono wrote in a brief email to The FADER, the first song he heard from the project. He described it as “surprising” and “refreshing,” and, up next to the original, it is an immensely creative reinterpretation, its melancholy derived as much from its subtle discordance as from Gendel’s whisper-quiet voice. For those who, like me, don’t speak a word of Japanese, Gendel’s translation reveals the song’s gentle, cloud-covered existentialism for the first time: “This is the road I set foot on before / A road by the river / Taking a peek through the gap among clouds / I saw a vaguely familiar town.”⁠
