Toki Asako - Peppermint Time ~20th Anniversary Best~ (2024)

The Queen of City Pop, Toki Asako's 20th solo debut anniversary all-time best album! The definitive "city pop" album by Toki Asako, who has been spinning the "music of the city people" of every era and time!

Since her solo debut in 2004, Toki Asako has been spinning the "music of the city people" of every era and time. She has continued to express the hearts of people living in the city, which is constantly changing with the mood of the times, through sound, poetry, and singing. This work is a best album that condenses the changes and progress of the "city" and "people" over the past 20 years.

"If there is a color in 'My Tokyo,' it's peppermint green." says Toki Asako. Disc 1 of the two-disc album is titled "Pepper" and Disc 2 is titled "Mint," and 30 songs are selected from her past works. From bright pop numbers that make you want to go for a drive to melancholic numbers that suit the city at night, this is a work that allows you to enjoy Toki Asako's "city pop" that is urban, new, and yet somehow nostalgic.

As a new recording, Toki Asako's popular song "Utsukushii Kao" released in 2019 has been rearranged by Raisan, a band consisting of unique members including Kawatani Enon. The 2024 version of "Utsukushii Kao (with Raisan)" has been born, with the addition of a rap by Raisan vocalist CLR (Laland Saya).
