Tokyo's Coolest Sound

The last release of 2021 is an album by Morio Agata Ruby, the new unit of singer Morio Agata. Having started a new style of live events last year, by inviting fans to gather at the Asukayama Park with their guitar case (not for playing guitar but rather as a form of visual participation), this new album partly consist of sounds recorded at those gatherings. The album also has more recordings featuring other musicians, recorded in Otaru, Asukayama, Kawaguchi, Yamagata and Okinawa among other places. It's also described as the imaginary soundtrack of a documentary movie also titled "Wonder Ruby 2021" said to have been shot this year.

This release shortly follows a 2-CD collection of songs from the last 10 years, titled "Urashima Nisenjuu Nendai Senshuu". 2022 will be the 50th anniversary of Morio Agata's debut.
