SSW Kumiko Yokoi sang about anti-war, pollution, and discrimination, and performed in Hanoi during the Vietnam War, and continued to support the war effort until her death in 2021. This is a self-relased album released in 1984, arranged by flute player Toshiaki Yokota, known for his work with Primitive Community. We recommend the dope "Karayuki" and "Kyohaaenai" which feature Yokota's flute and Chito Kawachi's percussion. The somewhat unusual "Kanjyu Aogashima" is also interesting.

反戦、公害、差別をテーマにし歌い、かのベトナム戦争のさなかにはハノイでライブを行い2021年に亡くなるまで継続して支援活動を行っていたSSW 横井久美子。本作は原子共同体等で知られるフルート奏者横田年明をアレンジを手掛けリリースした84年の自主制作盤。当店的にはフルートやチト河内のパーカッションが効いたドープな”からゆき”や”今日は会えない”などをおすすめ。なんだか変わった雰囲気の”還住青ヶ島”も面白いです。
