Summer Silhouette - Tanzaku CD Release - July 7th 2024

We are made of a chain of memories and dreams that we have accumulated over our lifetime. They form an invisible veil, embraces and protects you. You're walking down the street, then there she is, why is she still wearing that thick blue scarf? The cold winter has already passed, you know...

つつまれながら (Tsu tsu ma re Nagara ) Embracement

Jun Parker - Embracement

A man packs his belongings up in his car and takes off on a journey. He decides to stop and spends some time in a non-descript inland outback town. As reminisces about a woman he met in this town, he decides to leave the town. He has no itinerary, and no destinations. What is important to him is to continue this journey above all else.

Jun Parker - Say Goodbye (Dusk Mellow Edit)

A Japanese Neo City Pop tune written in rural Australia, and produced in Chile, this is the new form of a global take on this revived genre.

As she lets her long black hair down, a purple wind rustles the autumn leaves. Why does she look so pensive, as the moon shines on her, and I ponder, what do I do...

All Because Of The Moon (feat. Carlinhos)

Tonight (Extended Version)

Tailor Made Love is a heartfelt slow jam ballad soaked in romance and vintage soul. Jun Parker channels the emotion and smooth grooves of classic ’70s and ’80s R&B, evoking the sound of artists like Babyface, Boyz II Men, the Isley Brothers, and Keith Sweat. The track features warm, analog-style production, lush harmonies, and backing vocals by ’80s soul singer Denise Stewart, bringing depth and authenticity to this ode to timeless love songs. Perfect for late-night listening, the track fits seamlessly on playlists like Slow Jamz, Quiet Storm, and R&B Love Songs.

In addition to digital platforms, Tailor Made Love will be released on a Tanzaku CD (8cm Mini CD), distributed across Japan on 7 July 2025—a nod to the golden era of physical music formats.
