Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Popuri (also spelt Pot-Pourri) is a unit formed of Reina and Sasaki Atsushi (SoundCloud) (also of Melting Holidays). Both compose and perform the music, with Reina singing lead vocals. While their visuals consist of cute illustrations of a girl and her cat, also designed by the two, the sound is definitely neo-Shibuya-kei. After about three years, their first album has just been released! Check out the digest clip below.

Among guest musicians, Hase Yasuhiro (Yume to Cosme) plays piano on two songs ("hoshizora no Vanishing Point" and "yūgure Patchwork"), and Tasaka Kimiaki (Melting Holidays) plays guitar on three.
