Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Here's the 2nd of two greatest hits albums covering the career of Hosono Haruomi. This one was selected by Oyamada Keigo (Cornelius) and contains 34 songs, entirely different from the previous one compiled by Hoshino Gen. Both the CD and LP editions will be released simultaneously.

Also out at the same time is a LP edition of the soundtrack to movie "Shoplifters" (Japanese title "manbiki kazoku") for which Hosono made the music, a movie famous for winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2018. The soundtrack was previously only released in digital form (, Spotify), and is being made available physically for the first time.

There will be special shows celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hosono's debut. First there's a 4-day series of events to be held at Ebisu Garden Place from October 11 to 14 (find all details here, tickets now on sale), then on November 30 will be a "special 50th anniversary show" at Tokyo International Forum Hall A, followed on December 1st by a show titled "Hosono Haruomi Yellow Magic Show 3" at the same place (tickets will be sold from September 28).
