Japanese 2LP Limited Edition Release Date: 24/9/2025 Label: Playwright
Description
The long-awaited first analog record of the masterpiece "Suomenlinna" by Tatsuo Sunaga's solo unit Sunaga t experience.
A masterpiece created with elite artists from Japan, America, and Finland!
The jazz reworking of Remioromen's smash hit "Konayuki", which was pressed in very small quantities on 7-inch records and sold out in an instant, features Jukka Eskola (tp, flg), leader of Finnish ally The Five Corners Quintet, as well as Timo Lassi (ts) and Teppo Makinen (d). And "Yureru.", which was released in very small numbers as a 7-inch record on RECORD STORE DAY in 2019 and has become a premium, is a Japanese-American collaboration featuring LA-based vocalist SARA! In addition, with this analog release, an instrumental version of "Yureru." is included as a bonus. It is rumored that the destructive power of the song, which shakes the hearts of those who hear it, will surpass that of "It's You". Not only does it connect the dots of the world, but "Futa_Ara" which was created with the image of Tatsuo Sunaga's hometown of Tochigi, features Anna Sato (vo) and opens up new horizons on an unprecedented scale. And this time, he also reunites with his beloved disciple for the first time in a long time. The name is STUDIO APARTMENT. The collaborative song "Rogue" is a floor filler with melodic guitars on a cool, edgy beat that is typical of STUDIO APARTMENT. In addition to regular members of Sunaga t experience's works, Yuri Dazai, Yoshihito”P”Koizumi,ChihiRo (Jill De-Coy Association), and Maki Manami, it also features up-and-coming drummer Kenta Okamoto. The 34 members who gathered under Sunaga are Shunji Takenaka (g), Shiro Sasaki (tp), Shinpei Ruike (tp), Motoharu (ts), Mikiko Nagatake (p), Tetsuji Shiotani (b), Emily Styler (vo), Taichiro Kawasaki (tp), Satoshi Taguchi (sax), Yusuke Nakamura (key), Shinji Hasuike (b), and Tomoaki Boutan Miyamoto (ds), making for a luxurious lineup. Not only has Sunaga t experience earned him the nickname "Record Boss" for his passionate love of records, but he also loves bars as a professional drinker and is nicknamed "Captain". This masterpiece, released in 2019 and named after a Finnish World Heritage Site, "Suomenlinna" is now available on analog for the first time.
