Tokyo's Coolest Sound

This new album by Nomiya Maki comes with 2 discs. The first is a collection of songs from her recent albums of the "Shibuya-kei Standards" series (released from 2014 through 2017), and the 2nd is of a previously unreleased entire live show that was held at Motion Blue Yokohama in February 2018 and also featured Yokoyama Ken (Crazy Ken Band) and Takano Hiroshi. A brand new recording of Pizzicato Five's "Tokyo wa yoru no 7ji" (aka "The Night Is Still Young") produced by Konishi Yasuharu and featuring rock band The Shaolin Brothers is included! This year is the 25th anniversary of the song (first released in 1993). The album artwork was done by Shindō Mitsuo.

Songs that were selected on disc 1 include several collaborations with other artists such as Suzuki Masayuki, Yokoyama Ken, Murai Kunihiko, Watanabe Marina, Clémentine and Kaji Hideki. Also included is a previously unreleased live performance of "chūō Freeway" during which Monsieur Kamayatsu (who was in the audience) suddenly joined Maki on stage to sing together.

Also, a 7" of "Tokyo wa yoru no 7ji" and non-album track "Happy Sad" will be released on November 3 for Record Day 2018. Both songs were produced by Konishi Yasuharu and feature The Shaolin Brothers.
Update (2019/4/9): Having sold out once, a 2nd press on black vinyl is going on sale April 10, 2019! Find details below.
