Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Following "Machi Akari Techno Phase I" released two weeks ago, here comes the 2nd half of Machi Akari's take on techno. This time the songs were made in collaboration with DÉ DÉ MOUSE ("Hula Girl nya Ura ga aru!") and "Hayama Kazuhiro" (said to be a collective featuring someone (?) from Pasocom Music Club) ("Uchu Jangara Odori"). Like the previous, this is available on CD and digitally.

This release concludes the four physical releases of 2024, which started with "Disco Akari" and "New Folk".

In-store events will be held for the new techno releases. The first one is on Thursday December 5 at Disk Union Rock in Tokyo Shibuya, starting at 19:00 (details). The second one will be held on Thursday December 12 at Tower Records Yokohama Vivre, from 19:00 (details). Both of these include a mini-live part that's free to watch, after which a meet & greet session will be held for those who bought related items.

Also, a release party will be held on December 29 from 11:30 a.m. at Shimokitazawa Live Haus, featuring a special set as Machi Akari & Techno Paradise, and also a live performance by Cherryboy Function, and DJs Nagata Kazunao, Dela and Hazemoto (Sigh Society). Find details here.
