Editor's note

Ego-Wrappin' blends jazz, soul, and Tokyo cool.

A Tokyo duo mixing jazz vocals with electronic soul since the late '90s.

For a taste, 'Crazy Fruits' or 'Shinshō Fūkei' frame their style well, smooth but never slick, with a touch of late-night mood.

Ego-Wrappin' carved out a space where jazz phrasing meets modern production, a sound that feels both classic and quietly inventive. Songs like 'Crazy Fruits' highlight Masaki Mori's smoky delivery over Leo Imai's crisp arrangements. Their music has popped up in Japanese TV dramas and commercials, giving their work a subtle, lasting presence.

They started in Tokyo in 1996, putting out eight albums from 1997 onward, including 'Blue' in 2003. After drummer Tatsuya Tanaka died in 2007, they kept recording, with later work like the 2013 album 'Ego-Wrappin' and the Anti-Social Staff Orchestra'.

Archive material and source history

Ego-Wrappin' formed in Tokyo in 1996, with Masaki Mori on vocals and Leo Imai handling guitar, production, and composition. Their sound pulls from jazz and soul, with electronic touches woven in. They've put out eight albums since 1997, including 'Blue' in 2003 and 'Kimi no Na wa Ego' in 2009.

Some of their songs, like 'Blue Bird' and 'Crazy Fruits,' show Mori's distinctive vocal style over Imai's arrangements. The band's 2005 album 'Sorrows' included 'Byrd,' which got used in commercials and TV dramas in Japan.

In 2007, drummer Tatsuya Tanaka died. The band kept working, releasing 'Ego-Wrappin' and the Anti-Social Staff Orchestra' in 2013. Their music videos have sometimes drawn attention for their imagery.
