Chou à la Crème

Although it has a sweet name, this album does not sing about sweets at all.

"Chou à la Crème" is a virtual dance-music album by Gokuraku Virtual., gliding through the city at night.

The theme of this work is "parallel Tokyo" - another Tokyo that exists right beside the real one. Driving through that city, watching the lights reflected in the mirror, passing under the moonlight, moving through the darkness, and arriving in the morning mist. These scenes are woven together with soft, crisp, and groovy dance music.

The highlight of the album, "in the dark," is perhaps the most wistful track Gokuraku Virtual. has ever made - a night-drive song filled with a deep sense of longing. Beneath its sweetness lies a slight bitterness, and although it feels light, it leaves behind the deep afterglow of the night.

Light, sweet, and just a little unsettling.
Crisp and groovy, yet somehow melancholic, with the night growing deeper.

It is an album that feels as if the hollow center of the city has been filled inside a cream puff - a work that could only come from Gokuraku Virtual.
