JP-JUICE / Fukai

Translated by Yvonne Chen

      This brand new album--along with a DVD of the same concept and name--is the work of Japanese multimedia artist, Naoki Kenji. The album is full of relaxing, slow-tempo, electronic music. The main single "Fukai" features female singer Yuko Matsuyama, who wrote the lyrics and performs this melancholy Trip Hop song. As for the video, the imaginatively lavish animation has female dancers expressing the music through simple and elegant dance--evidence of Naoki's amazing talent.
