Toki Asako - PINK (2017) Hi-Res

Winner of the 24th Japan Professional Music Recording Award High Resolution Division ``2ch Stereo'' Excellence Award

Queen of City Pop Asako Toki's 2017 City Pop definitive album "PINK" is finally released! "PINK" It is the color of imagination that repaints reality.

``I believe that our city pop predecessors always took on new challenges and pioneered the mood of the times. As my predecessors have expressed, I want to create ``music for the people of the city''...that has always been a challenge for me, but I kept thinking about this in particular during this production.

The title ``PINK'' refers to the color of dreams, for example.
If imagination is what repaints reality, the image of that color was pink. My hope is that this album will be a companion to your imagination. It also refers to the color of the flesh, or the color of the transparent skin. When people are lonely, the reassurance they seek may be found on the other side of pink, for example. It would be great if this album could feel like someone's human skin.'' (Asako Toki)

``PINK'' is their first original new album in about a year and a half since their previous album ``Bittersweet''. Asako Toki, who has always created "music for people in the city," is now defining the modern version of city pop.
