Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Two new songs were just released today by Chikada Haruo & Haruophone, a band name that was mainly used in the 70s. Titled "Ai No Sono" and "Rock 'N' Roll Ga Daisukide", both of the songs were arranged by guitarist Kubota Haruo (Pearl Brothers). Footage of the recording can be watch in the video below.

These songs will be part of a compilation titled "Legend-tachi no Lullaby" (roughly translates to "Lullaby of the Legends") to be released on vinyl around September, which will feature new songs by artists that have been active in the 70s or 80s. Also already available in advance digitally are songs by Juicy Fruits ("tsurupika☆kirarin" (, OTOTOY) and "dairenai jidai" (, OTOTOY)) and Creation ("Long Beach" (OTOTOY), "One Night Dream" (OTOTOY)).

Chikada Haruo has been quite active in the recent years, releasing solo album "chou joudan dakara" and project LUNASUN's "Organ Heaven" in 2018, and greatest hits album "Chikada Haruo Best ~ The Baddest Guy In The World" in 2019.　Since last year he had also been posting several new tracks on his own YouTube account.
