This is probably as close as we will get to a full return of legendary Shibuya-kei unit Les 5-4-3-2-1. The Sally Kubota-led new pop project, Sally Soul Stew, features not one but both original vocalists, Hitomi and Arimi, and also a bunch of other like-minded female vocalists. Included appear to be several original Les 5-4-3-2-1 songs, surely in new versions, but also many brand new songs.
With a title like "uchū de Rendez-vous" (the Les 5-4-3-2-1's song also known as "Rendez-vous à l'univers"), the direction sure seems same as it used to be! A must buy!
