Yoshida Yohei group "ar" CD

The band is moving to a new stage. A calm and free ensemble updated in the form of pop songs. The world depicted in the Yoshida Yohei Group's first album in two and a half years is a fulfilling work that breathes new life into the music!

Two and a half years after their previous album, "paradise lost, it begins," their fourth album, "ar," is set to be released! After members leaving the group, going on hiatus, and individual activities during that time, the story of the new Yoshida Yohei Group is beginning again. This new album marks the beginning of a new era, with the members' skills and sense as players honed more than ever before, fusing their deeply knowledgeable musical tastes and blending a wide range of music genres, but the songs are also familiar and easy to understand, which is unique to them. This album contains 12 songs that are currently in progress and will reach listeners who are experiencing Yoshida Yohei Group for the first time, as well as existing fans.

The album features live drums and a distinctive programmed rhythm, with the guitar playing in the background making an impression in "Do you know what I mean?", Yoshida's vocals are stronger and more refined than ever, and the beautiful chorus of the women overlapping with his voice stays with you in "Before I Wake Up", and Kuro (from TAMTAM), who joined as an official member from this album, features a relaxed and strong vocal track, "Fortune". With only a few days left in 2017, Yoshida Yohei Group is the best band, brimming with power and breathing new life into us.
