Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Uchoten, band formed in 1982 and led by Kera (Kera & The Synthesizers, No Lie-Sense), is back with a first full-length album in 26 years — their previous was "dekkachi" released in 1990 (though mini-album "lost and found" was released in 2015). Featured on the new album are all original members from that later period of the band. The album comes on 2 discs, both of which are said to be in a different style. All songs can be sampled on iTunes.

HMV gives away a promo clear folder (while supplies last).

Uchoten will play a show at Billboard Live Tokyo on January 7. Tickets are on sale.
