EDOTENSEI

Tokyo Young Vision returns with its second full-length album, EDOTENSEI. Following their reactivation in 2024 and the milestone of their first-ever solo headline show last year, the Tokyo-based hip-hop crew now enters a new phase with this latest release.
The album draws a parallel between the crew's accelerating momentum and evolution, and the transformation of their hometown - from Edo to modern-day Tokyo. At the core of EDOTENSEI is the concept of "Matsuri"(festival), a form of entertainment deeply rooted in Japanese culture for centuries. Tokyo Young Vision frames their music as a contemporary manifestation of this tradition - an immersive, communal celebration delivered through sound.
The keywords "Edo to Tokyo" and "Matsuri" extend beyond the album title and jacket artwork, serving as a guiding motif that will carry forward to even larger stages ahead. Together, they symbolize a continuing journey - one that invites listeners into Tokyo Young Vision's next "festival" and beyond.
The album consists of 11 tracks. Standout cuts include the high-energy intro "OMATASE" an up-tempo banger designed to ignite anticipation from the very first moment, and the lead track "Tokyo Ondo" which embodies the album's themes of Edo heritage and festival spirit. Across the full tracklist, Tokyo Young Vision's signature diversity in sound, flow, and character is vividly showcased.
Production is handled by a lineup of talented beatmakers including Foux, resulting in a sonically polished and highly accomplished body of work that matches the crew's artistic vision.
