No digital version available.

This 12-inch vinyl-only release is the fourth in the series in support of the Kuzoku film “Bangkok Nites”. Both songs here are covers of “The Countryside is Great”, a 70s luk thung classic originally sung by Runghpet Laemsing. The song, which plays a pivotal role in the film, is re-titled on the A side by Ozawa and the Babylon Band, who deliver a funky version with winsome vocals by Katsuya Tomita, one of the film’s directors, who, as Ozawa, also plays the leading role in the film. The Babylon Band is led by Iwao Yamazaki, who has a long-running relationship with Kuzok films; he is the sound engineer of “Bangkok Nites”. The AA side is a version by the Tokyo-based synthesizer quartet Kufuki, with vocals by Rifu Otsu, a singer/voice performer and master of shigin. Cover art by Shinsuke Takagi of Soi48.

祝!『バンコクナイツ』第72回毎日映画コンクール 音楽賞・監督賞受賞!

今回は和物ファンもマストのバンコクナイツ・トリビュート・リリース第4弾。

空族ファン号泣!?!第四弾は映画界激震まさかのオザワ&バビロン・バンドが登場!くふき&乙津理風との強烈な対バンで送るルークトゥン名曲「田舎はいいね」競作カヴァー12インチ。シリーズ最大の問題作!?!

そうです、あのオザワ(*)です!『バンコクナイツ』にてタニヤ街でポン引きする姿を最後に消息を絶った元自衛隊員オザワが、その後日本に潜伏し仲間とセッションしていたとは誰が知ろうか?一味が選んだのが『バンコクナイツ』でブレイクした70sルークトゥン名曲「田舎はいいね」の改題カヴァー「田舎に帰れ」だ。歌詞が重要なルークトゥンの精神を見事日本語に落とし込んだ空族・相澤監督の作詞で、録音ミックスを『バンコクナイツ』音響係でもある山﨑巌(バビロンバンド)が行い、この一味どもがとんでもない日本語ルークトゥンを作ってしまった!ありえないオザワ(富田監督)熱唱+シンちゃん等の劇中台詞挿入で空族ファンは悶絶必至だが、stillichimiyaファンには嬉しいYoung-Gの冒頭スクラッチ、更にトリッピーサイケに展開する後半のDEEPダブMIXと圧巻の内容!

*注:オザワは空族・富田監督が演じています。念のため。
