Yapoos, the band of Togawa Jun, is active again after some 13 years and just released a new album.
Included are 6 songs performed at a live recording last August 17 at Shibuya Club Quattro, with a line-up featuring also Nakahara Nobuo (also of Portable Rock) on bass, Lion Merry and Yamaguchi Shinichi on keyboards, Yakabe Atsunobu on drums, and new guitarist Yamaji Kazuhide (of band dip). One song, "suki suki daisuki", used a previously recorded guitar track by the band's late guitarist Ishizuka "Bera" Norihiro.The two last songs were recorded in studio: new song "kodoku no otoko" and a self-cover of "12sai no hata" (song previously written for Miyamura Yūko).
Hear audio samples on CDJapan (or at other retailers). A vinyl edition is also planned for release in Spring 2020.
A release event will be held on January 28, 2020, again at Shibuya Club Quattro. Tickets are on sale.
