Jin Akanishi is releasing his first ever rearranged album À la carte on August 1, 2018.
The singer-songwriter embarked on his 2018 Blessèd tour this year from February to March to promote the release of his latest album Blessèd. He subsequently went on his JINDEPENDENCE tour from April to May with a full backing band. It's safe to say he's been busy with his musical activities as of late, having already completed two tours only halfway into the year. He took his unshaken world class sound and edgy performance and enfevered the audiences.
The concept behind the 'rearrangement' of this album ties in with the artist's Blessèd tour during which the songs were put together in a certain way for the shows. The instruments have been rearranged and the songs reedited to give the melodies and lyrics a different charm. Despite being busy on tour, Jin Akanishi was able to take on helping create this album.
His new song, which was performed at Zepp Tokyo on his JINDEPENDENCE tour on May 23 and 24, has already been added to the album.
The 14-track record showcases the Jin Akanishi of today. In addition to a regular edition and first press limited edition, there will also be a Universal Music Store limited edition that comes in a premium box set. The regular edition contains a bonus track for a total of 15 songs. The DVD that's included with the first press limited edition features a music video for the new song as well as footage of Jin Akanishi's premium live show at Toyosu PIT that was held to commemorate the release of Blessèd.
The Universal Music Store limited edition comes with the CD, a choice of DVD or Blu-ray of the artist's tour finale of the 2018 Blessèd tour held at Makuhari Messe Event Hall on March 30, and a special photobook of the same show. This edition is order-only and sold only at Universal Music Store and their official website. Orders opened on June 6 and will run until June 25 at 13:00.
Hear the rearranged tracks for yourself by getting your hands on a copy of À la carte.
