Miki Sawaguchi is a fairly well known AV idol from Japan (although, personally I have yet to see any of her films yet), she is perhaps most well known for her, well... as the album title goes, Big Boobs. Aside from being just an AV idol though, she has branched out towards many other projects, appearing as a regular cast member on shows like YOUNG and Gilgamesh Night and focusing on musical endeavors such as this one.
Besides being a busty porn star, why should the Japan-obsessed, seedy and strange of us care even the slightest about her outside of that career? Well, for experimental music fans, the words Alchemy Records and Jojo Hiroshige may spark a considerable amount of interest. Sawaguchi has on many times collaborated with the legendary Hijokaidan.
Big Boobs was released in 1999 on Alchemy Records and quickly went out of print. Jojo himself appears on several tracks lending his standard shredding. How can one begin to describe this album? The phrase, "worst album I have ever heard in my life" is one I've come across several times when searching for this album, even from fans of noise. Sure, the album may be full of horrible Engrish, with covers of songs like 'Be Straight' by Joan Jett, and 'Mercedes Benz' by Janis Joplin, but it's oddities like that that give the album such a unique charm. From the droney, spoken-word noise of '子宮と人' to the mellow longing of tracks like '私の胸でおねむりなさい,' this album of cheesy rock covers, pop ballads, and harsh noise is possibly one of the most interesting records I have ever heard. This album is in no way a piece of novelty, it is a great record in its own right. And I don't even like big boobs :3
