Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Tokyo Killer, the instrumental rock band led by guitarist Keme (also of Kinoco Hotel), has a 2nd album being released! Included are covers of The Ventures' "Fuzzy and Wild" and Hot Butter's synth-pop classic "Popcorn", as well as many originals. This is the follow-up to "Tokyo★Killer Street" (2015).

The band also features keyboardist Ōkubo Kei (Urbangarde), drummer Kagiyama Kyōichi (cocobat, ex-Urbangarde), and bassist Katō Tarō (Beat Crusaders), with also two songs featuring Tokyo Killer's usual bassist Akko (ex-Go! Go! 7188) who is now on maternity leave. The jacket artwork was done by Sally Kubota (SOLEIL, The Scooters), who also directed the music video for "Hayabusa" seen below.

A release live show will be held on Sunday September 15 at Shibuya BYG, also featuring band Barbie Banks (Yazawa Yōko & The Stephanies).
