CITY MUSIC TOKYO Second Definition

CITY MUSIC TOKYO Second Definition continues the acclaimed Japanese compilation series with a sophisticated journey through jazz-funk, crossover, rare groove, and cinematic soundtrack music. Selected, supervised, and annotated by Cunimondo Takiguchi of RYUSENKEI, the collection draws from the Nippon Columbia catalog to create the atmosphere of an imaginary urban film soundtrack.

Across 18 tracks, the set moves from polished orchestral grooves and smoky jazz arrangements to hard-boiled action themes, fusion workouts, and late-night city sounds. Artists include Eri Ohno, Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media, Kazumi Watanabe, Mickey Yoshino Group, Mieko Hirota, Takeshi Inomata & Sound Limited, and many more.
