Young Juvenile Youth (YJY) is an electronic music unit that has established its unique stance with an edgy, electronic approach and a vocal style that spins free, individualistic words.

Their first full album, MIRROR, released in November 2017, was highly acclaimed as "the vanguard of a new Tokyo Sound" in Europe, Asia, and beyond.

The new EP, DIALOGUE, deepens the sound and vocals from the previous work. In addition to the "YJY sound" to date, they have collaborated with various domestic and international track makers to challenge new sound production.

Songs released sequentially from January to March 2019 have been reinterpreted. DIALOGUE is a compilation work intended to be the first chapter of the new Young Juvenile Youth.

The solid-sounding track "Darkroom" is remixed by RAMZA, a track maker based in Nagoya. It retains its sense of momentum while achieving a chill-out feel, a true testament to the essence of remixing.

"Sugar Spike," with its refreshingly down-tempo simplicity, is a song that fully expresses the unique world created by vocalist YUKI MATSUDA's words and singing. Ben Khan, based in the UK, remixed it, breaking down the sound into pieces and masterfully weaving a different groove from the original with his guitar work and voicing.

Then there's the re-imagined remix of "Darkroom" by Young Juvenile Youth's own track maker, JEMAPUR. Characterized by the free-thinking and experimental humor of JEMAPUR, who is also known as an electronic musician.

This work also features a collaboration with the fashion brand Agnès b. Agnès b., with its deep appreciation for music, has launched a project in Japan that is also being rolled out in France. This release is the first installment. 300 copies will be released, each adorned with a special full-color jacket.
