[Comment from Shōtaro Aoyama]

The title of the EP is Social Club, which is the name of a club I used to go to often when I lived in Paris, but it has already closed.
It was like a community for young creators, where you could meet up with friends without having to make an appointment and experience the latest in European dance music.
I wanted this EP to be a place like that, so I asked my friends to help me create it. The theme of this EP is connecting people through music, regardless of genre.
