It's been a year since the release of the highly popular 'Tokai/MIDNIGHT PRETENDERS'. Jazz singer Airi's city pop cover is back on the new label 'claudia' launched by J-Jazz new hero Sone Mao! This time, it's a cover of Yuming Arai Yumi's famous song 'Chuo Freeway' released in 1976! It starts with a filtered drum break and Sone's trumpet solo brings it to a climax! The B-side is a cover of 'MUSIC BOOK' co-written by Yamashita Tatsuro and Yoshida Minako. This is also a more mellow piece with the skillful combination of piano and trumpet by Sone, who is known as a 'two-sword jazz player'. Over the course of a year, he shows off his more distinctive 'adult city pop'.Track ListA. Chuo FreewayB. Music Book
