Selected by Yasutaka Hayashi
I chose these five records to be a groove that acts like a storage device hidden like easter-eggs* along the way from JR Shinjuku Station’s East Gate to TOKYU KABUKICHO TOWER. These recordings are starting points that suggest the scenery of Shinjuku by connecting dots of memory while also awakening my own emotional attachments.
