TOKYO世界 (TOKYO SEKAI) has announced the release of its first album, “ENTRANCE“, on Friday, April 18. TOKYO SEKAI is an artist who attracted attention during his participation in Rap Star 2024 thanks to his “昭和歌謡VIBES” (Showa era song vibes) style. The album explores the feelings of inferiority, struggles, and conflicts that he has experienced and his quest for liberation. The work centers on the theme of the artist’s 24 years of life.

The album features special guests, notably FARMHOUSE (from SUSHIBOYS), whom TOKYO SEKAI profoundly admires, and Shirafu, his faithful companion with whom he collaborates in the group Legal Nerd Boyz. Sound production was entrusted to NOAH, who previously worked on the single “Welcome To TOKYO SEKAI”, HUGH THE KID, who serves as DJ during TOKYO SEKAI‘s live performances, and KM. The sound engineer is Kakeru Kanie, from the same region as TOKYO SEKAI, who continues their collaboration after the EP ロマン (Roman).

The cover illustration is the work of カチ ナツミ (Kachi Natsumi), an independent illustrator active since 2019 in various fields such as book illustrations, advertising, and artistic events. She has perfectly visualized the entrance into the world of TOKYO SEKAI created by the artist.

Additionally, pre-sales for the artist’s first solo concert, “Welcome to TOKYO SEKAI“, which will be held on Saturday, May 17 at Shibuya WWW X in Tokyo, have also begun. In addition to standard tickets, tickets including the CD of the first album are also available. The promotional visuals for “Welcome to TOKYO SEKAI” were designed by KID ROSE, with photographs by YURI HORIE.

Comment from TOKYO SEKAI

“For this first album, I chose, as my theme for my journey up until now, ‘my 24 years of life’. I’ve always felt constantly rejected by the people around me, and I was told, ‘You are powerless. ‘ I’ve spent most of my life struggling against the suffering of being someone who can’t do anything, and searching for my reason for being by alternating between escaping reality and taking refuge in imagination.

This album, ENTRANCE, deals with my conflicts and rebellion against a reality that doesn’t accept me as I am. I wanted to create a work that could help me escape this reality, support me even in my darkest moments, stimulate my fighting spirit, and provide excitement and emotion.

During the creative process, I rediscovered my strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to the collaboration of many trusted people, I think I’ve created a first album that I’m satisfied with. For the first time in my life, I felt gratitude toward all those who helped me in creating this album and throughout my journey, which has allowed me to grow as a human being.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Music has given me hope to live and the opportunity to transform myself. I would be happy if this album I created could, in turn, become a source of hope and change for someone else!“
