A Sweetly Dangerous Scent — Gotan Project Returns After Four Years
On Sunday nights, a personal moment of repose accompanied by sophisticated music is a time of pure bliss for adults. Delivering such rich moments is DJToshio Matsuura's radio program, TOKYO MOON.—Each Sunday, he broadcasts a selection of superb music from around the world and intellectually stimulating topics for adults on Inter FM 76.1MHz, starting at 7 PM. Here, Toshio Matsuura himself presents the program as it airs each week. So, what has he picked out this time?

Gotan Project's 10th Anniversary!
Four years since their last album, 'Lunatico,' Gotan Project, who fuse tango and electronic music from France to create their unique sonic world, are releasing their new album 'Tango 3.0' this year, marking their 10th anniversary. We'll be playing two new tracks from the group, with rumors of their long-awaited return to Japan circulating. In conjunction with this, we've curated a selection of emotionally resonant tracks, a departure from the previous week.
Gotan Project's 'Tango 3.0'
Gotan Project
In fact, I was involved in producing Gotan Project's first concert in Japan at Roppongi Hills Arena back in 2003. The event title then was 'TOKYO MOON,' the same as this program, conceived with the image of a 'chic music event that adults can enjoy.'
With anticipation for their long-awaited return to Japan, a group that holds such fond memories for me, I encourage you to first let their new album 'Tango 3.0' flow into your being, perhaps with a glass of red wine.
