Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Here comes a new twist from Wink Music Service, the group formed of Keitarō Takanami (Playtime Rock, ex-Pizzicato Five) and Sally Kubota (The Scooters, She's a Rainbow, ex-The Phantom Gift/Les 5-4-3-2-1/SOLEIL). Angie Bella is the new monicker of Angie Hiyori, previously featured in several songs by Wink Music Service (as heard on album "It Girls"). This first release as Angie Bella Via Wink Music Service contains the new original song "La Vita è Bella!", which has music by Keitarō Takanami and lyrics by Yūko Iizumi (microstar), and also covers of Lio's "Amicalement Vôtre" (in its Japanese version "koi wa Ami Ami" such as previously sung by Mariko Kurata) and France Gall's "Jazz à gogo" (also in Japanese, "nazo no Boyfriend" as sung by Mariko Fuji).

The release comes in two formats, a CD of all three songs plus instrumentals, and a 7" of the two first songs "La Vite è Bella!" and "Amicalement Vôtre".

In-store events will be held on July 29 at Tower Records Kinshicho Parco from 19:00, and on August 5 at Tower Records Shibuya from 19:00. There will also be a release party on September 26 at Shibuya Home from 12:00, with live performances by Angie Bella and Lin Oberndorff (who also sings in Wink Music Service), and DJing by Sally Kubota and Amaiwana (details & tickets).
