Product Description

Two years after his last release, Tatsuro Yamashita returns with a powerful double A-side single, “Onomatope ISLAND / MOVE ON.” This six-track CD features three original songs plus their karaoke versions, blending bright, uplifting melodies with slick, modern city-pop production that appeals to both longtime fans and new international listeners.

Lead track “Onomatope ISLAND” is the theme song for the latest episodes (5–8) of the brand-new Netflix stop-motion animation series “Pokemon Concierge.” Its sunny vocals and warm melody create a heartwarming sound that soothes both heart and ears. Second track “MOVE ON,” featured in the TV commercial for Daihatsu’s compact car MOVE, is a brisk, refreshing pop tune that pairs perfectly with Hiroshi Nagai’s tropical, nostalgic artwork and the stylish design of the new vehicle.

The third track “Sante,” the cheering song for the 2024 film “Grand Maison Paris,” delivers a groovy, danceable sound that captures the film’s story of a chef in Paris striving to become the first Asian to win three Michelin stars. Altogether, this release offers a concise yet diverse showcase of Tatsuro Yamashita’s latest pop sensibilities.
