New Album from Takuya Kimura

Takuya Kimura will release a new album on January 19th.

Next Destination is the actor and ex-SMAP member's second solo album, coming two years on from Go with the Flow. It will be available in three editions, all containing twelve tracks, composed by a diverse array of artists.

These include OFF THE RIP by Dragon Ash frontman Kj, Beautiful Things by singer-songwriter HIRAIDAI, Yes, I'm by hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts, and I'll be there by MAN WITH A MISSION bassist Kamikaze Boy. His fellow wolves were also involved in the production process, and Jean-Ken Johnny co-wrote the lyrics.

Three songs were composed by Tatsuro Yamashita, best known internationally as the producer of his wife Mariya Takeuchi's city-pop viral hit Plastic Love.

A preview of the music video for one of Yamashita's contributions, the album's opening track MOJO DRIVE, can be watched below.
