Kahimi Karie’s “Trapéziste” is the Japanese shibuya-kei musician’s fourth studio album, her first with her new record label JVCKENWOOD Victor Entertaintment Corp., released on the 21st February 2003. The record presents an extremely radical shift from Karie’s previous efforts, as it incorporates elements of jazz, classical music and avant-garde forms of electronic music into the poppier sound of her prime.
