Odori is the second studio album by the American jazz-fusion band Hiroshima, released in 1980 through Arista Records. The word odori (踊り) translates to "dance" in Japanese. The album is highly regarded for its unique blend of contemporary American jazz-funk, R&B, and soul with traditional Japanese instrumentation. Notable traditional elements include June Okida Kuramoto’s prominent koto solos and the use of taiko drums and shakuhachi flutes.
