Fishmans - Uchu (Universe): The Best of Fishmans (Ltd Orange) [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Drummer Kinichi Motegi, currently with the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, curated a selection of tracks for this album based on the concept of 'Kuchu (Aerial)' and 'Uchu (Universe),' featuring music from two labels in 2005. The album has been highly requested by Fishmans fans for an analog version and is available as a limited edition on clear orange 2LP.

The documentary 'Fishmans', which was released in 2021 to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut, received great support and attracted over 30,000 viewers, and Fishmans continues to gain new fans on a global scale. The best albums 'Air' and 'Uchu', which were released simultaneously in 2005 as a joint project between Pony Canyon and Universal Music, will be released simultaneously by both companies on July 24th as a two-disc set of colored vinyl. This work is an all-time best song based on the image concept of 'air' and 'space' and was selected by drummer Kinichi Mogi (currently of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra) beyond the boundaries of the label, and fans have been asking for it to be made into a record. A work with a high price. 'Aerial' is planned to be a clear sky blue color vinyl version, and 'Space' is a clear orange colored vinyl version. The master is scheduled to use a new cutting master by Sterling Sound, which mastered the CD version. Commenting on the release of this record, Mogi said, 'I'm really happy that my long-cherished desire has come true! Since it's being released as a two-disc set, we were conscious of the selection of songs for the analog version, and we wanted people to enjoy not only the sound quality but also the flow of each side. I cherished it more than anything,' he commented. Even after vocalist Shinji Sato, who wrote and composed most of their songs, passed away suddenly in 1999, Fishmans has continued to perform live, inviting various guest musicians, mainly Mogi. Please check out Fishmans' future activities as they continue to evolve. LISTEN: https://open.
