NOVEMBER 1, 2006 – NEW YORK and TOKYO – SYNCHRO / FROM TOKYO TO NEW YORK is a compilation of 15 numbers by Japanese bands that deserve global recognition, created to celebrate the opening of UNIQLO SOHO NY. The groups on this CD blow away old categories like major versus indy, genre, age, and geography. Jazz, lounge, techno, house, hip-hop, electro, you name it, but why draw lines in this chaotic music scene where genres blend and blur, evolving a musical sensibility unlike any other in the world. The numbers on this CD are very Japanese and all music. Are you ready for it?

Tomoyuki Tanaka / Fantastic Plastic Machine
