Product Introduction
"Swallowtail," the legendary masterpiece directed by Shunji Iwai, was released in 1996.
In 2026, to mark the 30th anniversary of its release, the film has been remastered in 4K and converted to Dolby Atmos under the full supervision of director Shunji Iwai, and To commemorate its release as *Swallowtail 4K Remaster* starting September 4 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya in Tokyo and other theaters nationwide, the vinyl edition of the hit album *MONTAGE* by the YEN TOWN BAND-formed as a fictional band within the film-is being reissued.

Centered around sound producer Takeshi Kobayashi-who served as music director for the film *Swallowtail*-and Chara, who played the band's vocalist Glico, the YEN TOWN BAND released the single "Swallowtail Butterfly - Aino Uta" and the album "MONTAGE" in the real world, sweeping the charts.

In 2015, "MONTAGE" was remastered by John Davis (who passed away in 2023), a mastering engineer at Metropolis Studios, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the film's release; however, this release employs half-speed cutting by Stuart Hawks, a longtime collaborator at the same Metropolis Studios. Since the record is cut while the lathe rotates at literally half speed, it delivers high- and low-frequency reproduction that is unique to analog records-and far surpasses that of standard-speed-cut records-making it impossible to reproduce via digital distribution, high-resolution audio, or CD playback, thereby enabling high-fidelity analog record playback. Metropolis Studios' half-speed cutting process utilizes a custom-modified Neumann VMS80 analog cutting machine-one of only a handful in existence worldwide. Stuart Hawks began his career as a cutting engineer, and his notable works include Amy Winehouse's *Back to Black* and Ed Sheeran's *+-= (Division Sign) x Tour Collection*. He has performed numerous half-speed cutting sessions to date.
