Yuri Kirihara with Tetsuro Yafune Trio "Sophisticated Baby"

Singer Yuri Kirihara (nickname: Manbō) has a brand new album about to be released, which is produced by singer-songwriter and pianist Tetsurō Yafune and performed by his trio (with Katsuto Suzuki on bass and Ryūsuke Kakizawa on drums). The result is an album that can be both listened to as jazz or pop music. All of the songs were written by Tetsurō Yafune except for "ningyo" which is a cover of Nokko.

All songs can be sampled at Disk Union (which offers a promo CD-R of a non-album song while supplies last, although they only ship within Japan).

Yuri Kirihara has two planned shows that can be viewed online, on March 7 with Nagisawa Karin (details) and on March 14 with Zettai Wasureruna (details). Both will be viewable archived for two weeks.
