B'z Tak Matsumoto Releasing Solo Album "Strings Of My Soul”

According to Tak Matsumoto's label House Of Strings, the solo artist will release a new album titled “Strings Of My Soul” on June 20th!

Nine out of thirteen tracks are already featured on his previous works and most of these older songs are songs off Tak Matsumoto’s album “Hana” that was released in 2002. Still, fans have something to look forward to! All of the old tracks are remastered and the album also includes a few brand new songs!

An interesting fact is that Tak and his friend Larry Carlton came together for the album to cover a song titled “SUKIYAKI”. Furthermore, Grammy Award winner Paul Brown acted as engineer, producer and mixer.

“Strings Of My Soul” comes in two versions: A Regular Version that costs 3059 Yen and is CD-only and a CD+DVD Version that costs 3780 Yen.

The track list is already revealed but please notice that the order isn’t set yet.
