Tujiko Noriko

Tujiko Noriko

BY I. KhiderPublished Oct 1, 2001

Gentle and abstract yet playful melodic music brought to you by the Mego label. The music features sounds and songs by Tujiko, a female electronic producer, which is a rarity in itself. This recording has the customary processed glitch noise one would expect from a Mego artist, yet on the cuter, Casio-toned level. The CD is slow and ballad-like, set to a gentle lullaby pace, and Tujiko has a sweet, high, child-like voice somewhat reminiscent of Yoko Ono, but much better. The music here is in a traditional pop tune structure, interspersed with sounds as if a symphony of toys were accompanying her ballads. The lyrics and even the liner notes are in Japanese, so I can't go in depth about her songwriting skills. The liner art is different from other releases on Mego label, featuring a collage of children's book images, photos and childish doodlings.
