To immerse themselves into Tokyo’s hyper-eclectic musical underbelly was too enticing a prospect to ignore. Minds were ceaselessly and consistently blown in districts like Shimokitazawa and Koenji where underground scenes in the city continue to flourish. Noise artists, freejazz anarchists, math punk outfits... each murky basement a Pandora’s Box of surprising genre-shattering sounds.\nEnraptured and infected, Herman, Hueting and Pol found a box of their own to explore their own out-of-the-box mentality to music.

Joining them are some of the most esteemed names in Japanese music, namely venerated composer\/jazz musician Otomo Yoshihide and tenor sax maverick Tomoaki Baba – who stole thunder on the soundtrack of Tachikawa Yuzuru’s Blue Giant (2023).\nTrumpet plauer Shinpei Ruike returned to perform...  more\ncredits\nreleased March 27, 2026\n\nBenjamin Herman - saxophones, flute\nJimmi Jo Hueting - drums, synthesizers, guitar\nThomas Pol - double bass\nOtomo Yoshihide - electric guitar\nTomoaki Baba - tenor saxophone\nShinpei Ruike - trumpet\nKo Ishikawa - sho\nAkihito Obama - shakuhachi\n\nRecorded by Akihito Yoshikawa at Studio Dede, Tokyo on 8-11, 14, 15 April 2025\nProduced by Jimmi Jo Hueting\nCo-produced by Benjamin Herman\nMixed by Robin Hunt\nMastered by Akihito Yoshikawa at Studio Dede, Tokyo\nExecutive Producer: Benjamin Herman \/ Roach Records\n\nPhotography by Jonathan Herman\nAlbum artwork by MURAKADO\nDesign by James Hunter\n\nAll compositions by Benjamin Herman and Jimmi Jo Hueting, except for:\n- Gaa-Gaa, Jam Jam Radio, Spyware, Piyo-Piyo and We've Got More by Benjamin Herman, Jimmi Jo Hueting, Thomas Pol and Otomo Yoshihide\n- Hohokekyo by Benjamin Herman, Jimmi Jo Hueting, Thomas Pol and Akihito Obama\n\nIncludes unlimited streaming of The Tokyo Sessions via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.\nDownload available in 16-bit\/44.1kHz.\u003c\/pre\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.
