Tokyo's synth duo, CRYSTAL, proudly announces the release of their third album, 'In A Cocktail Glass.' This album is a grand collaboration with the renowned lyricist Yutaka Takamatsu, resulting in a poignant and wistful urban pop and techno kayō explosion.
Inspired by 80s TV commercials and trendy dramas, this album tells the story of a city boy wrestling with memories of summer and embarking on artistic adventures. It's like stepping into a time machine, whisking you away to the dazzling world of bubble-era city pop.

'In A Cocktail Glass' stands apart from the current city pop revival, maintaining CRYSTAL's unique "Suburban Pop 副都心ポップ" style. Their sound, a twist on the conventional city pop, brings both nostalgia and freshness in equal measure. This playful homage to the bubbly city pop of the 80s and 90s is crafted with fragments of poignant visions reflected in a cocktail glass.
