Item Description
- Text by Yusuke Ogawa

The concept is "Tokyo." The megalopolis is transformed, and the performance is full of sharp sensitivity and creativity. A new dimension of Japanese jazz has been opened here.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't sell, let's make a record that smells of culture. I want Japanese people to make Japanese jazz." In response to the director's words, Hiroshi Matsumoto decided to record this work, "Megalopolis". The concept is "Tokyo". Inspired by the view of Tokyo, which was rapidly transforming, from the plane, he began production. Matsumoto, Hideo Ichikawa, Kunimitsu Inaba, and Motohiko Hino set up in a circle so that they could see each other's faces and movements, and they deliberately did not have detailed meetings before recording. The suite-like masterpiece "A Day in the City" "Nostalgia" about the longing for something lost, "Megalopolis" with its refreshing and uplifting bird's-eye view of the city, "Serenade" with its bittersweet ennui, and "City Irritation" that digs deep into the soul. This is a masterpiece that depicts a huge city and the people who live there, with performances full of sharp sensitivity and creativity. The original was released as one disc in Victor's "Japanese Jazz" series.
