Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Rocketman, aka comedian Fukawa Ryō, is back in music with a 3rd album under the monicker. His first two albums were produced by Konishi Yasuharu, and this one keeps a Readymade connection by involving Konishi-san's programmer Yoshida Tetsuto! Also co-producing are Sakai Ichirō (Elekihachimaki, Joytoy) and Nakatsuka Takeshi (Qypthone), and guest vocalists include Toki Asako (Cymbals) and hitomitoi.

Fukawa Ryō, who recently wrote all music for the soundtrack to movie "Peanuts", writes all lyrics and music on this new album. It will feature diverse genres ranging from bossa nova to house.
