Kazuki Tomokawa is 63 years old.\n\nIn recent years, young artists such as Nanao Tabito, Maeno Kenta, and amazarashi have spoken of their influence on their music and have been receiving increasing media exposure on TV and radio. In January 2014, Kazuki Tomokawa will release his first full-length studio album in three years, \"Revenge Bourbon\".\n\nThe recording for this album was made by six talented musicians from Japan, including Toshiaki Ishizuka (Tou-Nou Keisatsu\/ drums, percussion), Masato Nagahata (Pascals\/ piano, accordion, mandolin), Hiromichi Sakamoto (Pascals\/ cello, electronics), as well as a French filmmaker, Vincent Moon, who performed with Tomokawa in his documentary film \"Blunders of Flowers\" (2009), and was acclaimed by Tomokawa as \"an unmistakable genius who grasps the maboroshi\". The group also breaks new ground in terms of sound, with the participation from abroad of Gaspar Krauss, an up-and-coming cellist who performed with Tomokawa in the documentary film \"Hana no Negligence\" (2009) by French filmmaker Vincent Moon, and was praised by Tomokawa as \"an unmistakable genius who captures the maboroshi (maze).\n\n(*This text was written at the time of release in 2014.)\n\n\n\nParticipating musicians\n\nKazuki Tomokawa (vocal,guitar)\n\nToshiaki Ishizuka (brain police, Shinorama, etc.\/drums,percussion)\n\nTaro Kanai (Pascals\/guitar)\n\nGaspar Krauss (cello)\n\nHiromichi Sakamoto (Pascals, etc.\/cello,electronics)\n\nMasato Nagahata (Pascals, etc.\/piano,accordion,mandolin)\n\nAyumi Matsui (Pascals\/violin)\n\nYuki Yoshida (NRQ\/Erhu)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modest Launch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51810305704225,"sku":"4540862903294","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4540862903294.jpg?v=1757837463","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-fi\/products\/4540862903294","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
