Given my keen interest in Japanese culture (music, cinema, anime etc), it was obvious that sooner or later a "Japanese" album would definitely appear, especially after the mixtape "Japanese Vibration". True, I mainly listen not to "sugar" Jpop, as it might seem from mixtape, but experimental psychedelic rock.

This album "started" in 2016, when I bought and sampled the first Japanese record, and the idea of Tape Fusion has not even been in the air.

Some more facts about the album:

- This is the longest beattape of all Tape Fusion, both in time (29 min) and in the number of tracks (19).

- This is the second time that my GAZ 24 Volga has appeared on the cover. In the first part of Tape Fusion (sovietkonducta.bandcamp.com/album/tape-fusion-1-24) there was a photographed "outside", but now the view is "inside".

- In fact, the photoset was held for a completely different part of Tape Fusion (I will not disclose all the cards now), but this photo was spontaneously taken with various "typical" Japanese attributes - a Godzilla figure, a book by Yukio Mishima, my girlfriend’s anime jacket, a gamepad of Sony Playstation 1, etc. (that morning I just threw the first things that came to hand in my bag, although initially there were no plans to take photos for the "Japanese" album).

- The foot of my cat accidentally appear on the back cover, but I liked the photography so much that it was decided to leave it🐈🐈

- The old classic setup - AKAIMPC2000XL + lot of Japanese vinyl

P.S. sorry for my English :)
