Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Suzuki Keiichi (Moonriders, Controversial Spark, No Lie-Sense) and Okada Takashi (label Li'l Daisy) went digging Nippon Columbia's archives for covers of movie theme songs, performed by the label's orchestra: Columbia Symphonette. Many of these rare recordings are available on CD for the first time ever!
