Rapper twins-fronted hip-hop band P.O.P (not to be confused with newcomer idol group POP...) has a 2nd album out now, follow-up to "tanoshii koto bakari arimasu yō ni." (2014)! The 15-song album features guests such as Nakatsuka Takeshi, BIKKE (Tokyo No.1 Soul Set), singer STAMP from Thailand, and many others. Expect a lot of fresh groovy and funky sounds, with a good dose of Shibuya-kei roots.
A special release live will be held on January 10 at Daikanyama Unit, together with a bunch of artists featured on the album (details). Meanwhile P.O.P can also be seen on December 31 at a countdown event at Shibuya Loop Annex (details).
