To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Otogi Banashi's masterpiece 'CULTURE CLUB,' a vinyl edition is set for release. A decade ago, the highly acclaimed Japanese rock band Otogi Banashi released their masterpiece 'CULTURE CLUB. ' Marking a shift from their usual pop and playful image to a more edgy and refined sound, this album was a pivotal work for the band. Co-produced by Jin Yoshida (Salon Music) and with art direction by Yutaka Kimura (Central 67), this was also their first release after moving to the Felicity label. The album includes 'COSMOS,' a track featured in Yuki Yamato's film 'Otogibanashi Mitai,' making it a fitting second debut work for the band. Otogi Banashi, with their flawless band ensemble, continues to be an indispensable presence in the scene with their dynamic activity. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the release of 'CULTURE CLUB,' a limited-edition vinyl record will be released. Enjoy their timeless evergreen sound as you drop the needle on this record.
