Review
ZUTOMAYO's third full-length album, "沈香学" (Jinkougaku), released in 2023, is a dazzling blend of catchy hooks and soul-searching lyrics. Among its 13 tracks, you’ll find showstoppers like the "Chainsaw Man" anime ending theme "残機" and the Spotify Holiday TVCM hit "綺羅キラー" featuring Mori Calliope. Other fan favorites include "あいつら全員同窓会" and "ミラーチューン," which have become go-to songs at the band's live gigs.
From start to finish, "沈香学" is a trip through love, relationships, and self-discovery, all wrapped up in ZUTOMAYO's infectious sound. The production is super slick, each track meticulously produced to spotlight their unique vibe. And if you get your hands on the deluxe version, you'll be treated to a live Blu-ray of their epic "ROAD GAME『テクノプア』~叢雲のつるぎ~" concert, plus some juicy behind-the-scenes goodies and instrumental tracks.
In all, "沈香学" is a brilliant showcase of ZUTOMAYO's growth and versatility, perfect for die-hard fans and newcomers alike. It’s a rich, rewarding journey that's sure to resonate deeply. - Piper
