Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Shonen Knife has re-released their first cassette tape album from 1982 on CD and vinyl. Titled "minna tanoshiku Shonen Knife", and also known by the English title "Everybody Happy", it is said that only 89 cassettes were produced (50 by the band and 39 by the label). Included are early versions of songs such as "Burning Farm", "Banana Leaf" and "Summertime Boogie" that appeared on later albums. (Note that the song "Spider" from the original tape could not be included because of copyright reasons.)

This release follows the album "Our Best Place" (2023) (, Spotify).

Shonen Knife have announced an upcoming extensive tour of the U.S. titled "Everybody Happy U.S. Tour 2025" to be held in September and October 2025. Find the tour schedule at label Good Charamel and also look out for more details on Shonen Knife's official Facebook page.
