Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Here's a first compilation on Delicatessen Recordings, the label of Nakatsuka Takeshi. The title translates to "singing piano guys", and indeed features male singer-songwriters, a few of the songs mainly just piano and vocals while over half is more band- or club-oriented tracks. Included are two brand new songs by Takeshi, and also featured are i-dep, jazz artist Yafune Tetsuro, and more.
