Nakatsuka Takeshi (ex-Qypthone) has had an active solo career for some 10 years, and here comes a first greatest hits album that period. Alongside some all-time favorites, new song "Zero no mugen" (released digitally the week before) is included as well as non-album tracks such as rarity "The Sweetest Time" (from a limited single CD sold with a roll cake), the title song from soundtrack "Sexy Voice And Robo", single-only track "Aguas de Agosto", "kimi no egao" from compilation "utau Piano danshi", and digital release-only song "Black Screen".
The package comes as a high-quality SHM-CD (plays in normal CD players), with a DVD (Region 2 NTSC) of 3 music videos.
Nakatsuka Takeshi can be seen live at his event "Musical Museum" on May 4 at JZ Brat in Shibuya (details). Show your "Swinger Song Writer" CD at the entrance for an instant ¥1000 discount! Emi Necozawa and Sphinx Trio will also be playing.
