Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Bassist and producer Sally Kubota revisits the roots and inspirations of his band SOLEIL, which was active from 2017 to 2019, in this compilation selected, supervised and designed by himself. This collection consists of 30 songs from the 60s, which can also serve as an introduction to cute pop songs from the period. As the title hints, there are apparently plans for a sequel.
