JUJU to Release Western Music Cover Album "Jikan Ryokou," Produced by Masataka Matsutoya
JUJU's Western music cover album, "Showa Yogaku Jun-kissa JUJU 'Jikan Ryokou'," will be released on March 18.
"Jikan Ryokou," the latest installment in the "Request" cover album series, features Masataka Matsutoya as the producer. The album contains covers of classic songs, including Elton John's "Your Song," Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)," Delaney & Bonnie / Carpenters' "Superstar," Carole King's "It's Too Late," and Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
The CD will be released in five formats: First-Press Limited Editions A and B, a Regular Edition, and fan club-exclusive Complete Production Limited Editions A and B. The first-press limited editions will come with a Blu-ray or DVD featuring footage from the final performance of "The Water" hall tour, held on "JUJU Day," October 10 of this year, at Tokyo International Forum Hall A. The complete production limited editions will include this live video disc, as well as a cassette tape, a photobook, a sticker, and a miniature "Jun-kissa JUJU" sign.
Furthermore, a hall tour to support this album has been announced, scheduled to run from June to October. Masataka Matsutoya will be in charge of the stage direction.
JUJU's Comment
While spending my days with Mr. Masataka Matsutoya weaving together all sorts of deeply memorable Western songs from back in the day, preparations to open Jun-kissa JUJU are moving along steadily. This is a time-travel journey I want to take with all of you while we wait for Snack JUJU's mama to return. When we open, please be sure to come visit! I'll be waiting for you.
