“Tokyo has always been a city that embodies the spirit of innovation and tradition,” says LJ Pheonix. “With Tokyo Cry, I wanted to capture that duality and create a musical journey that reflects the city's vibrancy and depth. This EP is a love letter to Tokyo and to the synthwave genre that has shaped my artistic vision.”
