Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Three exciting new releases from Cornelius are about to drop!

First is a Blu-ray disc titled "Mellow Waves Visuals" of 200 minutes, which contains visuals for all songs of album "Mellow Waves", as seen used in his concerts. Included is also a full show held at Tokyo International Forum part of the "Mellow Waves Tour 2018", and documentary footage that covers the tour in Japan and abroad.

The two other releases are remastered re-issues of "The First Question Award" and "Point", each with three bonus tracks. "Point" also comes with DVD "Five Point One" of 10 music videos. It's been 25 years since the release of Cornelius' first album "The First Question Award". Most retailers give away a sticker with each of the three releases (while supplies last).

Also noteworthy is a 160-page mook published at the same time, titled "All About Cornelius 2" (Amazon, HMV). It's a follow-up to "All About Cornelius" (2017, Amazon, HMV), and consists of interviews and columns, and also some rare photos.

A tour titled "Cornelius performs Point" will take place in west coast U.S. (LA, SF, Portland, Seattle) and Canada (Vancouver) starting September 24. Find details and ticket info here.

An in-store event will be held on August 2 at Tower Records Shibuya Stage One (B1F) for those who bought the "Mellow Waves Visuals" Blu-ray either at Tower Records Shibuya or Shinjuku. The event will be a screening of "Mellow Waves Tour 2018 @ Tokyo International Forum" (from "Mellow Waves Visuals") followed by a talk featuring Oyamada Keigo (Cornelius) and the video director. Pre-orders paid in advance also qualify to get a ticket (while supplies last). All details here.
