Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Chiroline (reads -lyn) was a girl techno-pop unit that was produced by Okada Tohru (CTO LAB., ex-Moonriders) in the mid-to-late-80's. This year sees the formation of a group of 4 new girls borrowing the same name, again produced by the same man. Included in this first album are 6 self-covers, plus 5 brand new songs. Contributing to the song-writing and music are members of CTO LAB. and Urbangarde, among others. In a direction similar to CTO LAB., the girls are said to like gadgets and small instruments, as can be seen in the fun video below, directed by The Aprils' Nakama Hirohisa.

HMV online offers a bonus autographed album jacket (while supplies last).
