Circus = Circus

A velvet curtain rises, and four voices dance in harmony — elegant, urbane, and unmistakably Japanese.

Circus 1 isn’t just an album — it’s a stage show wrapped in smooth jazz and satin harmonies, the musical debut of a vocal group that approached jazz-pop with the precision of a string quartet and the charisma of a Tokyo lounge act. Released at a moment when Japanese pop was evolving toward elegance and Western polish, Circus 1 captures that shift in real time, balancing classic vocal jazz aesthetics with the emerging glow of City Pop.
