Reinterpreting Songs Spun Over 15 Years as a Duo
DJ Toshio Matsuura's "TOKYO MOON" is a music program for adults, broadcast every Sunday at 23:30 on InterFM 76.1MHz. We introduce "fresh" music carefully selected from around the world, and topics that stimulate the intellectual curiosity of adults. Here, we look back at the content just aired. This is a series where you can enjoy "TOKYO MOON" with your eyes and ears, delving deeper into artists, introducing related songs, and even allowing you to purchase them. This week, we feature the Kyoto-based male-female duo, mama!milk.

Like a Quietly Burning Flame
mama!milk is a male-female duo consisting of Yuko Ikoma on accordion and Kosuke Shimizu on contrabass. They have performed adult music, imbued with a passion like a quietly burning flame, in atmospheric venues such as museums, old theaters, temples, and cafes, both domestically and internationally.

Their newly released album, "Duologue," features 21 carefully selected songs from their own works, created over 15 years with guest artists, reinterpreted solely by the duo's performance. The luxury of listening to these masterpieces, divided into four suites, is a profound experience, offering a different kind of deep emotion than a best-of album.

The packaging for the high-quality CD, released in advance, is visually delightful and beautiful enough to adorn a bookshelf alongside favorite paperbacks. Please take a look at it in person at a store.
