Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Wakita Monari has a 2nd album being released this month! This is the follow-up to the excellent "I am ONLY" (2017). Included are several songs produced by Arai Toshiya (Count Joke), and also ones produced by microstar, Illicit Tsuboi (co-written by YUI (Bakubaku Dokin)), Sasaki Jun (ex-Cosa Nostra) (with lyrics by Suzuki Momoko, also ex-Cosa Nostra)), Count Joke (both of them), and more. Three songs from recent singles "Wingscape" and "Take It Lucky!!!!" are included, but all other 9 songs are brand new!

A tour will be held from the end of August, to finish on September 14 at WWW X in Shibuya. Tickets are on sale! Check out her full schedule here.
