Supervised by beach lifestyle magazine "SALT...", this new song compilation features all newly recorded songs by 14 genre-less artists who love the sea.

The new album "Sea of Love 2" (released January 2025) from SALT... meets ISLAND CAFE, a compilation series supervised by "SALT...", is now available on vinyl! It features 14 tracks filled with beach time flavor!

This album marks the first surprise collaboration between OKAMOTO'S guitarist Kouki Okamoto and neo-AOR band GOOD BYE APRIL vocalist Sho Kurashina! This is a love song with a surf-rock sound. Okinawan rapper Leonald, whose concept is to fuse music and surf culture, makes his debut in the series! His new track, "Mother Ocean," is a satisfying slow tune filled with love for the ocean. Other first-time artists include Liquid Stella, a three-piece instrumental band with an average age of 22; Hanah Spring, a talented surf-style singer-songwriter; no.9, which also works on commercial music and sound design and production for public facilities; and a special remix by BLU-SWING, a jazz band featuring singer Yuri Tanaka. Artists active across various genres have come together around the theme of "ocean." Artist/surfer Shimon Hoshino, whose debut track on the previous album, "Sea Breeze," has surpassed 5 million plays on Spotify; neo-surf music singer UEBO, whose previous album, "Easy Breezy," was a huge hit; singer FUKI, who released an ocean-themed single and EP in 2024; and surf music legend Tomohiro Higashida, who travels the world and is a real surfer, also appear on this album with fantastic new tracks.
