株 - Kabu by punipunidenki

“Kabu” takes root and grows into a forest of complexity — Punipunidenki releases their second album!

Following their first album Sōgyō (Foundation), which marked the beginning of their concept as a “complexity-resilient” music company, Kabu represents the next phase of Punipunidenki’s creative journey. The title carries multiple meanings—referring to kabu as a “root” that nurtures life, a “share” that connects value, and a “strain” that branches and multiplies like microorganisms.
The album features collaborations with Kan Sano, Shin Sakiura, Mikeneko Homeless, Yohji Igarashi, Taishi Sato, Emi Nishino, ESME MORI, Sara Wakui, and valknee from Japan, as well as Paul Grant (California), Pikes (Stockholm), and ming (Toronto). Blending pop, chill, jazz, and club sounds, the music spreads like budding roots to form a lush forest rich in complexity. Released as a CD album, Kabu captures Punipunidenki’s vision of individuals connecting and growing together.
The artwork was created by Isamu Gakiya, with package design by Yusuke Shibata (soda design). The CD edition comes in a paper-sleeve jacket.
