Safari - Safari

WRWTFWW Records is extremely happy to present the official reissue of Safari’s self-
titled album from 1984. The Japanese jazz-fusion super gem is available now as a limited-edition transparent vinyl LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi.

Originally released on fabled label VAP, Safari is a one-of-a-kind city pop-adjacent
summer blend of AOR, smooth jazz, and sun-drenched boogie. The sole album from the all-star outfit was the brainchild of keyboardist Toshiyuki Daitoku and Japan-
based Californian jazz-funk-latin-fusion bassist Gregg Lee. Together with a large team of experienced musicians, they created a lush, immaculately-arranged 8-track cruise
filled with poolside grooves, breezy rhythms, and feel-good vocal harmonies.
Safari features the well-known title track which acted as the theme song for an 80s
sports program on Fuji Television, the night-swim chill music tune “All Right in The
Night”, and the fan-favorite buoyant vacation hit “The Morning After”.

The official reissue is fully licensed and sourced from the original masters, with an
audiophile cut by Sidney Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios, ensuring the warm, pristine
sound this lost treasure deserves.

Safari is the second release from WRWTFWW’s City Pop Series, following Momoko
Kikuchi’s beach classic Ocean Side, also available on transparent vinyl LP. The series,
complete with a visual identity designed by Lopetz/Büro Destruct, also comes with a
limited merch capsule, and more sun-soaked gems lined up for the future.
