Tokyo Utopia Tsushin

Since the 2020s, following a viral breakout on TikTok, Lamp has garnered over 2.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify. In addition to a dedicated fanbase across Asia -- including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Indonesia -- the band was selected as the supporting act for Mitski's 2024 tour and joined her across North America. Their own headlining tour, "FUTURE BEHIND ME" North America 2024, saw all 17 shows sell out. Their solo show at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA this summer also sold out instantly. Lamp continues to gain global recognition at an accelerating pace. Now, two of their critically acclaimed albums are being released on vinyl simultaneously.

This sixth album from Lamp, a three-member co-ed band known for blending eras of Japanese pop with elements of '70s pop and Brazilian music, reimagines pop through a unique and timeless lens. The songs trace the emotional landscape of a man and woman whose paths briefly cross in some unnamed city. The album evokes both the chill and warmth of winter, along with a faint nostalgia -- something everyone has felt at least once. The artwork prominently features illustrations by Ouji Suzuki, a legendary manga artist known for his work in the 1970s avant-garde magazine "GARO," and famous for pieces such as Motorcycle Girl. Suzuki's dreamy, surreal artwork and Lamp's music together create a fantastical, immersive world.

2020年代に入り、TikTokでのバイラルヒット後、現在Spotify月間リスナー210万人超を記録、アジア圏 (中国、台湾、香港、韓国、インドネシアほか)での根強い人気に加え、2024年はMitskiのサポートアクトに抜擢され、北米ツアーに帯同し、また同時期に北米17ヶ所を巡ったワンマンツアー"FUTURE BEHIND ME" North America 2024は全てソールドアウト公演となった。今夏のLINE CUBE SHIBUYAでのワンマンも即完し、現在進行形で世界的評価を高めつつある、Lampの名作2作品アナログ盤が同時発売! それぞれの時代の日本語ポップスを受け継ぎ、70'sポップスやブラジリアンミュージックなどのエッセンスを随所に散りばめて新しいポップスへと昇華してきた男女混合3人組バンド、Lampの6作目。このアルバムで描かれるのは、どこかの街のある場所ですれ違う男女の心象風景。冬という季節の冷たさと暖かさ、誰もが一度は通り過ぎたことがある懐かしい感覚をふと思いださせてくれる。ジャケットには、70年代、若手表現者たちに多大な影響を与え、漫画界の異才を多く輩出した漫画雑誌「ガロ」で活躍し、代表作「オートバイ少女」等で知られる鈴木翁二氏の絵を多数起用。独特の幻想的な絵とLampの音楽が共鳴し合い、ファンタジックな世界を作り上げている。
