Excursions in Gwoka vol​.​1 (2022, Beauty And The Beat, BATB 005)

Bandcamp

Linear notes by Cédric Lassonde:

“‘A Ka Titine’ has long been a staple at our Beauty & the Beat parties, a dancers’ favourite and one of those truly special records which have become part of the party’s DNA. This is gwoka from Guadeloupe, a term which not only designates an authentic music genre from the Caribbean island, but also a specific dance and more spiritually the soul and identity of a people. Lyrics often express the uniqueness of Guadeloupean culture, through the codes and metaphors of the Creole language, acting effectively as transmission of a collective history. Gwoka is made up of seven distinct rhythms, each of them used for different social occasions, from baptisms to funerals. ‘A Ka Titine’ is based on the driving toumblak rhythm, one which expresses love and happiness, and the most often heard in party situations. Gaoulé Mizik were a seminal outfit which released two cult albums in the late 80s, alternating between gwoka traditionnel and fusion experiments which they described as gwoka évolutif. ‘A Ka Titine’ is straight-up gwoka traditionnel, with legendary singer Michel Laurent at the peak of his powers. The “Titine” of the song is the name of the beach hut’s owner where Michel goes to have some fish, ends up drinking rum and playing dominoes, before almost getting killed in a brawl (!). Laurent is in raconteur mode, akin to the role of a griot in Africa, acting like a chronicler of his time and singing about everyday chores and social issues.”

Togashi-sensei has been updating his X account with some old doodles and unpublished genko (manuscripts) from different works. This time, he posted those amazing raw manuscripts from Yu Yu Hakusho.

He explained that in the case of color manuscripts, the color was only applied to the copies, so it's thrilling he shared the original one, his line art is so beautiful! By the way, the color printing is from chapter 103, released in Weekly Shounen Jump magazine in 1993.

It was later published in the kanzenban edition of the manga:

And that's from the full-color digital edition, released in 2015:

Bui showed up in the final match, I wonder what happened to him.

The Toguro Brothers are from the cover of Volume 12 (tankobon, 1993)

Here's a clean illustration from the Yu Yu Hakusho Artbook:

Goodbye,     see you,     take care, OK?

I’ll never ever forget you

Goodbye, surely one day we’ll meet again right?

It’s a promise! We’ll both pinky swear

I still lack own words. Please be safe wherever you are 🤍🕊️

Nope, I can't 🙃

Every time I see Mikazuki my kokoro shatters 😢 I curse "Hiden Yui no Me no Hototogisu" and the scriptwriter of that stage play with all my being

Bringing something out of obscurity can be either good or bad depending on how you handle it.
