Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Konishi Yasuharu compiles another CD from Sony's J-Pop hit catalog, consisting of songs that have not been released on 7". This follows the release of "Ace" last February that was the starting point to the release of several 7" singles of songs Konishi wished to have for his DJ gigs. This time in addition to hits are some rarities and also two brand new edits: Pizzicato Five's "Lovers' Rock -no dub-" and Clémentine's "Weekend -'Ace' edit-"! A must for fans! All songs can be sampled at CDJapan and other links below.

Out at the same time is a set of two 7"'s of four songs from the previous compilation. See "Ace ep" below for details.
