Portable Rock, the 80's band fronted by Nomiya Maki, has a new CD coming! This contains 2 songs that had remained unreleased back in the day, one of which surfaced on Maki's 30th anniversary album "30". Both songs have lyrics written by Konishi Yasuharu!
The rest of the CD consists of live recordings from two recent shows. Tracks 3 to 8 recorded at Kyoto Metro on November 6, 2011, and tracks 9 to 12 recorded at Shinjuku Loft on April 15, 2006. I had the chance to be in the audience of the latter (report here) and I'm definitely looking forward to this release!
