Trauma techno-pop group Urbangarde has released a brand new 7th album earlier this month, "Showa 90nen" ("Year Showa 90"), which came 1½ year after the previous "utsukushii kuni". Check out the videos below and hear more samples at Amazon.
The limited edition comes with a DVD of 4 music video clips plus 10 songs from a live show held last June 20 at Shinjuku ReNY, for a total of 14 songs.
A Japan tour will be held in April 2016, with a finale at Shinjuku Blaze (Tokyo) on May 1st. Meanwhile they can be seen at other events such as one part of Shinjuku Loft's 40th anniversary series on January 10. Find out details on their official site.
