自主制作のカセットテープが話題となり、その動向に注目が集まっていた猪爪東風（イノツメアユ）のソロ・プロジェクト〈アユ・トーキョー〉が、満を持して初のCD作品をリリース。管弦楽器を全編に配したチェンバー・ポップ的な音像が、とにかく緻密で美しい。そしてメロディーラインからは70年代の歌謡曲～渋谷系の系譜に連なるセンスも感じられる。その溢れるような才能に圧倒されるミニ・アルバムだ。

ayU tokiO "Koi Suru Danchi (meaning Housing Estate in Love)"
The solo-project by pop singer/song writer Inotsume Ayu, whose comings and goings had been receiving significant attention given the topicality of his self-produced cassette tapes, ayU tokiO releases its much-awaited CD for the first time. The Chamber (baroque) pop-like sound images scattered throughout the album with wind and string instruments is simply delicate and beautiful. The melody lines retain the musical tastes that can be recognized as such in the line of the popular songs of the 70s to Shibuya-kei. A dazzling mini-album that is overflowing with his amazing talents.
