Takako Minekawa
Fantastic Cat

unsigned

WE SAY

This track can currently be heard as part of a TV, cinema and radio advertising campaign for Miller Genuine Draft in Scotland. Japanese artist Minekawa is signed to Polydor in Japan, and this is from her 1996 album, Roomic Cube, a US college radio hit at the time. Early reaction to this track has been positive, from radio stations and in clubs. It's a brilliantly odd and infectious record that would sound brilliant on the radio and is available for worldwide licensing outside SE Asia. JF
