Tokyo's Coolest Sound

This new "mellow" compilation from Crue-L selected by Fujiwara Hiroshi and Takimi Kenji will include some exclusive tracks, new versions, and some available for the first time on CD. Expect even a first ever vocal track by Fujiwara Hiroshi, who also did the artwork.

If you're not sure whether this one is for you, check out this genre-dropping bonanza from the promo blurb: classical piano chamber music, song-oriented female vocals, down-tempo, mellow ballad, breezy leftfield sound, chill-out electro, orchestra score, acoustic bossa, post-chill-out(!), post interior music(!!)...
Looks like there should be a little something for everyone who likes it a bit mellow sometimes.
