Information

Scratch is the third studio album released by Kimura Kaela. Unlike Kimura's previous album this album features a wide range of producers with a different one on each song (except "Ground Control" and "sweetie" both produced by Jez Ashurst of the British indie rock band Farrhah). The songs "Ground Control" and "L.drunk" were used as radio singles to promote the album. The song "L.drunk" is also Kimura's first song with long-time composer AxSxE. The record also sees compositions from Japanese rock royalty like Kameda Seiji, BEAT CRUSADERS, Dr.StrangeLove, indie rock darlings Tsutaya Koichi, Iwata Atchu, and foreigners like Jez Ashurst and Linus Of Hollywood.

The first press edition of the record comes with a DVD containing Kimura's most recent music videos and live footage from her recent tours, and a slipcase.
