Apogee & Perigee

Apogee & Perigee has been played on NTS shows including Haruomi Hosono/YMO Day, with Hope first played on 27 October 2014.

Apogee and Perigee (アポジー & ペリジー) are two robots that appeared in a series of Japanese TV commercials for Mild Nikka whisky and the album "Chojiku Korodasutan Ryokoki" tells their story in song (apparently). A strange and rare collaborative story project created by Testpattern. Jun Togawa definitely sings for one of the robots, though I do not see her credited and was told that was part of the concept. Tracks are written by Miharu Koshi (who probably also sings), Haruomi Hosono, Ueno and Testpattern…
