This is the third volume in a series of analog recordings of hidden masterpieces by Toshiba EMI. This year's release features titles released in the 2000s and beyond!

In the winter of 2009, a smoky voice over dry acoustic guitar came from a cell phone commercial. It was Kiyoshi Ryujin, a 19-year-old boy at the time, who created the song, which could be mistaken for one from a hidden masterpiece of Western music, and sang it in English verse. His unparalleled songwriting sense, his voice that radiates an overwhelming presence, and his musicality that transforms itself with each album, all of which are unique in the 21st century J-pop scene, made him a young and isolated artist. The first best album tracing the four and a half year career of Tatsujin Sei from his debut single 'Morning Sun' released on March 8, 2009 to his sixth original album 'WORK'. This is truly a must-hear piece. (Original release: November 12, 2014)
