Sally Kubota Group "Twiggy Twiggy c/w Le Canon De Manon" (7"+Download code)

Bassist Sally Kubota (The Scooters, ex-SOLEIL, Les 5-4-3-2-1) has just turned 60 this summer, and his latest project is Sally Kubota Group, a trio that features Nakayama Tsutomu (The Scooters) on organ, Hara "Gen" Hideki on drums, and himself on bass. They are releasing two consecutive singles, and the first — "Do You Believe In Magic?" (‎サリー久保田グループの "Do You Believe in Magic? c / w Paris A GoGo - Single"をApple Musicで, Spotify, YouTube Music) — was released on November 3 featuring collaborations with Hirayama Miki and RYUTist.

This second single features Nomiya Maki on the A-side with a brand new arrangement of "Twiggy Twiggy", a song that first appeared on her first album "Pink no kokoro" (1981) and was later covered by Pizzicato Five. The B-side is a cover of "Soleil's Kanon" (from SOLEIL's album "Lollipop Sixteen"), this time sung in French by teenage singer/model MANON (Instagram) in a dub arrangement very different from the original. The artwork is by Sally Kubota A download code is included, and the single should be released digitally like the previous.

Also check out the compilation "Magical Connection 2020" selected by Sally Kubota that has just been released, as it features other recordings with Sally Kubota Group.
