Rah! Rah! Seiko - Promotional Record

[akable]

One of the unusual promotional items produced by Seiko over the years was a record with a series of tracks that refer to the company.

The title track was named Rah! Rah! Seiko and this was also used for an associated promotional advertising campaign.



This appears to have be released around early 1973 from some of the watches that appear in the associated promotional advertisements. 

The album has three tracks titled Rah! Rah! Seiko, The Song of Seiko Joyful and finally Let's Sing a Love with Seiko!

Lol, the Japanese sure do love those leggy blondes, don't they!

This is both bizarre and fascinating, Anthony.  The songs remind me of propaganda music, which I suppose isn't that surprising.  Can I ask where you found this record, and how you even knew it existed?

The record turned up for sale of Yahoo auctions not too long ago and I grabbed it there. It was only a few hundred yen and in really good condition.

I finally got around to recording the tracks a couple of weeks ago and creating the MP3 files from these. I do understand your reference to propaganda music and as you say this is not surprising.

I had seen reference to this previously online with some people asking if they knew anything about it but I had not previously heard the tracks or seen the back cover.
