Junk Fujiyama, a leader in the city pop scene, will release their latest cover album, “Akogyo Toshi City Pop Covers,” on vinyl on August 3rd. The album covers city pop classics such as “WINDY SUMMER,” “Telephone Number,” “Ryusei Toshi,” and more, with a powerful voice full of spirit and the refined style of Junk Fujiyama. This is the first time that this work, which has been praised as the best of the cover albums released in recent years, has been released on record.
Following the 2023 original album “DREAMIN'”, the cutting of the analog record was done by engineer Shinya Matsushita, head of “PICCOLO AUDIO WORKS”. As a new challenge for this work, the digital master was adjusted for record use, and then recorded onto half-inch analog tape, and a lacquer master was created from the recording. A high-quality master that gives off the texture and aural richness unique to records has been produced.
We hope you enjoy Junk Fujiyama’s continued releases and live performances.
