"The happiest and toughest dapper man in the world" Skapara releases an album in just 8 months since the previous work!
The lead track features guest vocals by their ally, Takeshi Hosomi (the HIATUS)!!!!

In April 2013, they were the only Japanese artist invited to the world's largest rock festival, "Coachella 2013," held in California, and they confidently performed on the main stage, thrilling music enthusiasts worldwide. The Japanese representative, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
Despite just releasing the album "Yokubou" in November 2012, their musical "desire" not only remains but swells to the point of bursting, and during their performances at Coachella (over two weeks on April 12 and April 19), they recorded the album in Los Angeles with the world-renowned engineer Joe Blaney (who has worked with The Clash, Keith Richards, Prince, The Ramones, etc.).

Furthermore, after Coachella, they traveled to Mexico, where they drew an audience of 5,000 in Mexico City with a scorching hot live show that sold out, causing the crowd to go wild. Immediately afterward, they flew to New York to finalize the album tracks.
The passionate, intense impulses of the "happiest and toughest dapper man in the world" Skapara are packaged into this new album.

Additionally, the lead track features guest vocals by their ally, Takeshi Hosomi (the HIATUS). Moreover, Takeshi Hosomi himself came to the Skapara recording studio in America during the recording, and the men's session began!

What remains after the collision and mixing of world-standard Takeshi Hosomi's vocals and Skapara's worldwide sound? !

This is the birth of a masterpiece that will shock the Japanese music scene.
The continuous desire-clad entity that rolls on is filled with enormous energy that makes everyone dance with smiles, and a slight pride.
You cannot spend the summer of 2013 without listening to this! ! ! !
