Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Kaede (Negicco) has just released a new concept album, the soundtrack of an imaginary movie titled "Youth". The album's producer is Satō Yūsuke (caméra-stylo) who often accompanies Kaede on piano in her shows. One song also has lyrics written by Suzuki Keiichi (moonriders). There are 4 vocal songs, while the others consist of instrumentals or narration, for a total of approx. 30 minutes. Watch the music video for "Youth" before which seems to make the imaginary movie a reality.

The limited edition includes a Blu-ray disc of an acoustic show held on March 21, 2021 at Ryutopia in Niigata, which was her first in front of an audience in about a year. The album is also available as a regular edition CD, and digitally (, Spotify, YouTube Music).

An acoustic online show for the release will be held on June 17 from 19:30 (JST) and viewable archived for a week. Find all details here.
