Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Kinoco Hotel is releasing a brand new 8th album, titled "Marianne no mikkai"! Unlike the previous ("Marianne no ougi") which was a co-production, this time Kinoco Hotel is self-produced by leader Marianne Shinonome. It's the last album with bassist Giulietta Kirishima who had been a member for 8 years, and it's also the first with new drummer Natasha Urayasu who joined last year (and played on latest single "Red Flower Blue Flower / Silver Monochrome"). Check out the music video for "ai shite agenai" below! This song and also "Chimaira" are available in advance digitally.

The album's vinyl edition will be released on August 28 with different artwork that hasn't yet been revealed.

Also, a 7" single of lead song "ai shite agenai" and non-album B-side "yōru to dokasen" will also be released on July 17. Pre-orders can be made at HMV and Amazon. Details should posted here again later.

In other news, guitarist Isabelle Keme-Kamogawa has been suffering since May from a Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) to her left wrist, and it was diagnosed that full recovery would take about three months. Best wishes for a prompt recovery! In shows, she is currently replaced by Christine Kameyoshi (aka Kame of bands Jollits and Gusha Ningen) until further announcement.
