Mononoke Kyoto (Trdc)

Takashi Murakami-one of the world's most celebrated contemporary artists-held his first domestic solo exhibition in eight years, Takashi Murakami: Mononoke Kyoto, at the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. MNNK Bro. (Takashi Murakami & JP THE WAVY)-a special unit formed after rapper JP THE WAVY was selected to create the theme song for this Kyoto-themed exhibition-has now finally released the theme track "Mononoke Kyoto", which until now had only been available for listening at the exhibition venue. Murakami himself participated in the music production and recording, resulting in a unique piece distinct from JP THE WAVY's previous works. The jacket artwork, also created by Murakami, features characters of both Murakami and JP THE WAVY placed atop cherry blossoms inspired by Kyoto. Additionally, this release includes three original trading cards exclusive to this vinyl-selected at random from a total of 24 designs (12 illustrations, each available in both Japanese and English versions).
