Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Shintarō Sakamoto (ex-Yura Yura Teikoku) has just released a brand new 5th album, titled "Yoo-hoo" (with a Japanese title that's read "yahhō"). Like on the previous album "Like A Fable" (2022), band members are Yūta Suganuma on drums, AYA on bass & chorus, and Tetsu Nishiuchi on sax & flute, with on two tracks guest appearance of Minami Kakudō on marimba.

While available digitally, the CD edition comes with a bonus disc of all songs' instrumental versions. An LP edition was also released, though it apparently sold out instantly.
