An Especially Packed Program This Time

This installment of "TOKYO MOON" dedicated the first half of the program to timeless bossa nova beats, starting with a rare Italian tune from 1963. We moved through original Brazilian tracks, the beats of old and new Los Angeles beatmakers, a superb cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's masterpiece "Dindi," and club tunes that masterfully blend big band sounds with electronics, all connected in a continuous flow. The latter half featured bluesy and groovy blues, Latin soul, and big band jazz from the 1950s to the present day, making for an exceptionally packed program.

A Party That Feels Like Destiny for a Champagne Lover

Starting this month, a series of parties will be held every other month, offering the chance to enjoy fine champagnes like Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Dom Pérignon, accompanied by music, all while taking in the night view from the 42nd floor. For someone like me who loves champagne, this feels like destiny, and I'm anticipating some truly special evenings. Please come dressed up. I look forward to seeing you there.
