BLANKEY JET CITY, all songs will be available for streaming, all albums will also be released on vinyl


It has been announced that all of BLANKEY JET CITY’s songs will be released on various streaming services on Sunday, July 28th.

BLANKEY JET CITY is a three-piece rock band consisting of Kenichi Asai (vocals/guitar), Toshiyuki Terui (bass), and Tatsuya Nakamura (drums). After disbanding in 2000, the band continues to exert a strong influence on the music scene and is respected by artists of a wide range of generations.

On Tuesday, July 2nd, about 24 years after their breakup, the official YouTube artist channel and official X were suddenly launched. One week later, on Tuesday, July 9th, the second day of the two-day Yokohama Arena concert, which was the final performance of their last tour 24 years ago, their legendary live show “LAST DANCE” held on July 9th, 2000, was upconverted to full HD and premiered for the first time on YouTube Premiere, a one-night only event.

After the video for “LAST DANCE” ended, a newly produced video was played, and it was announced that the live album “LAST DANCE” will be available for streaming on Wednesday, July 10th, and that from Wednesday, September 25th through next year, all of the band’s original albums will be released on vinyl, including those being released on vinyl for the first time, and that all songs will be available for streaming on Sunday, July 28th.

This time, all 10 albums will be released on vinyl with the latest cutting, including the first vinyl release of 7 original albums that were eagerly awaited at the time of release but never made into vinyl. Starting with the first album “Red Guitar and the Truth” and the second album “BANG!” (both 180g heavyweight vinyl / 2-disc set / double jacket specification / limited production edition) to be released on Wednesday, September 25th, the rest are scheduled to be released sequentially through 2025.

This vinyl record is said to have been created with the utmost care for sound, and was digitally transferred in high resolution from the original master tapes, which were all recorded analog at the time, and then cut directly. By not using any unnecessary digital limiting during the mastering process, the dynamic range of the original mix has been reproduced exactly as it was. It is said that the sound image will be different from that of the CD, so it is likely to be a work of interest not only to fans.

In addition, to commemorate the release of the vinyl versions of all the original albums, vinyl versions with T-shirts showing the original album jackets will be released in limited quantities exclusively at UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE.

Pre-orders will begin on Wednesday, July 10th at 6:00 PM on various CD shop websites, including UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE, and in stores for a total of four titles: two titles to be released on Wednesday, September 25th and two titles to be released on Wednesday, November 27th.

All songs will be available for streaming on Sunday, July 28th, the day 24 years ago when they became the first Japanese artist to headline the Fuji Rock Festival ’00, and it was also BLANKEY JET CITY’s last performance.

BLANKEY JET CITY is a major project that will run from 2024 to 2025.Official YouTube,X,Instagram,andSpecial websiteThe information will be updated from time to time on these platforms. Follow them and look forward to the latest news.
