Side A: The Romans, based in Tokyo, presents “suki ni nachatta” which features all the gleam, sparkle, and wonder that the band (now operating as The Second Waltz) has become known for. With a whirling synth, smooth electric piano, and laid back guitar strums, this semi-shoegaze, indie pop gem titled「好きになっちゃった」, shares the strength of love during the difficulties of separation. SIDE B: Ichiban, based in California shares “Colours”, a light and melodic mood and vibe of the changing seasons and how with the warmth of music–even in the coldest of winters–can help wash away tears and pain.

The Romans / Ichiban split 7 inch vinyl is Tokyo Beatniks Record Label’s debut release.

Ichiban (Instagram) is an indie band whose singer ,Yoko, is located in Japan while band members Marty, Jared and Allen are in California. The distance hasn't kept them from working on their music and recording some songs. This is their first release which has a fun power-pop kind of feel! Check out the animated music video for title song "Super Drive".

"Super Drive EP" is now available both digitally and as a self-released 7" and it can also be heard on iTunes, Spotify, etc.
