To celebrate the 10th anniversary of it's release in 2025, Okamoto Emi's first mini album 'Strike!' is now available as a 10th Anniversary Edition analog LP with the latest remastering!Known not only as the main vocalist of Friends but also for her diverse activities such as acting in dramas, writing songs for other artists, supporting RIP SLYME as an MC, and appearing in collaborations, singer-songwriter Okamoto EMI continues to shine across multiple fields. In September 2025, Friends will release their 10th anniversary 4th album 'Ten City,' which is already generating major buzz. And now, her solo debut work, also celebrating it's 10th anniversary in 2025, will be reissued on analog LP as a 10th Anniversary Edition with a fresh remaster!Written, composed, and produced by Okamoto herself, this work fully showcases her unique sensibilities through a mix of styles: from lo-fi electro-pop and idol-style tracks to 90s R&B, exotic pop, and emotional rock ballads. The release also includes the bonus track remix 'HIT NUMBER - EVISBEATS to PUNCH REMIX' by EVISBEATS and MICHEL PUNCH. The original LP pressing of 'Strike!' sold out immediately upon release and has since become a rare collector's item on the secondhand market, making this analog reissue all the more exciting. Guest musicians include Okamoto Koki (Gt. /OKAMOTO'S) and Okamoto Keisuke (Dr. /Kuroneko Chelsea).
