A true masterpiece of Japanese “Yōshikibi” (style-beauty) heavy metal is the focus for this entry. We are looking at the 7-inch single “Crazy For Your Love” by the band Precious, released in 1987 on the independent Mandrake Root Records label with the catalog number 10MR-7-009.
This 33 ⅓ RPM vinyl is legendary among J-Metal fans, primarily for its A-side, “Crazy For Your Love.” The track is hailed as one of the greatest songs in the genre’s history. It’s famous for its dramatic, high-speed introductory riff and, most notably, the absolutely stunning guitar work of Akira Kajiyama.
“Crazy For Your Love” serves as a perfect showcase for Kajiyama’s “super-technical” playing, which fans describe as gorgeous, flowing, and incredibly dramatic. His style is often singled out for its unique, beautiful phrasing, distinguishing it from typical neo-classical shred.
This “luxurious” track was created by an all-star lineup of musicians from the Japanese metal scene:
Vocals: Yukio Saijo Guitar: Akira Kajiyama Keyboards: Masashi Okagaki Bass: Michael Hammer Drums: Nobuo HorieThe B-side features the track “As Time Goes On.” As a key release from Mandrake Root Records, 10MR-7-009 stands as an essential document of 80s Japanese neoclassical metal at its absolute finest.
