Electronic rock unit Boom Boom Satellites’ new album “EMBRACE” will be hitting stores across Japan today (tomorrow for those in the West). The album is their 8th studio release and will serve as the mark of their 15th year anniversary. This comes shortly after the news of front man Michiyuki Kawashima being recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, causing the duo to cancel 23 shows of their upcoming Embrace tour, scheduled to run from January to March 2013. All our thoughts are with Kawashima and his family, wishing him a quick and healthy recovery.

The band also released a 2 hour long 15th Anniversary Special Documentary on their YouTube account which also includes preview tracks from their new album.

EMBRACE is now available on CD from CDJapan.co.jp in both regular, and limited edition.
