Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, entertainment agency Watanabe Productions has enlisted Osaka DJ unit p&art sasanooooha to create a remixed non-stop mix of G.S., comedy and idol songs. Without a doubt, this is the unique craziness of Pansasa's live performances, for the first time all approved and on a CD. Also being released is a similar compilation by DJ Mitsy (rōmaji sp?) taking care of the kayōkyoku and J-Pop hits. Each CD has 50 tracks!
