Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Self-produced singer-songwriter Kanou Emiri (Twitter), who takes a lot of her inspiration from 80's new wave, has a brand new song titled "Friday Night" now available on iTunes, Spotify, etc.!

A CD edition was also just released, containing other new song "Lucky" and an instrumental, although the CD seems to be only available at Emiri's >online shop (which also seems to only ship to Japan), at Tower Records Shibuya, or apparently via CDJapan's proxy shopping service. It's the first release on her own label Emirika Disc.

At the same time, the excellent song "gomenne" (released on 7" just recently) was also made available for download/streaming. A first music video by Emiri for "gomenne" has also been released. Watch it below!

On April 14, an in-store event will be held at Tower Records Shibuya's Pied Piper House (6F), with mini-live, talk show and autograph session. The event starts at 15:00. She can also be seen in various other events, including one Tuesday March 19 (tomorrow) at Shibuya Loft Event from 19:00 (details here).
