Keplar presents the first-ever vinyl edition of the 2005 album »28« by Tujiko Noriko & AOKI takamasa
>>> now available for pre-order via anost.net and Bandcamp: https://tujikonoriko1.bandcamp.com/album/28-remaster-2025
AOKI takamasa and Tujiko Noriko’s 2005 album »28« has become a cornerstone in the artists’ respective discographies. 20 years after its initial release, Keplar issues it on vinyl for the very first time. Three years in the making, »28« saw the sound artist and the avant-pop singer-songwriter combine their distinct aesthetics for an album that defied categorisation. Their combination of advanced electronic experimentation and pop appeal paved the way for a new generation of artists and turned »28« into an enduring fan favourite. Remastered by Stephan Mathieu, the reissue comes with a brand-new artwork by Joji Koyama and a changed track listing—authorised by Takamasa and Tujiko—for the vinyl version to fit it on a single LP, while the digital version remains identical to the original release.
All tracks written, performed, and produced by Tujiko Noriko & AOKI takamasa between 2002 and 2005.
Originally released via FatCat Records in 2005.
Remaster by Stephan Mathieu.
Vinyl cut by Lupo@Loop-O.
