Here's a bit of a rare item - LaB LiFe's debut mini-album released in 1997. I believe this was an indies release? Not sure, but it's a superb mini and I HIGHLY recommend it.

LaB LiFe - Planet Headphone [1998]

LaB LiFe were an techno-pop duo founded by Oya Yusuke (now known as SPENCER for his solo project) and Odate Kenichi back in the mid 1990s. They first released a mini-album on an indies label back in 1997 and a year later were picked up by a major label, making their debut with PLANET HEADPHONE.

A nice blend of 90s feel-good pop and techno music, Planet Headphone is a solid 90s electro album.

A year after Planet Headphone's release they released their second and last album titled WORLD'S eND. In the new millennium they provided J-pop star Ayumi Hamaski with a remix of one of her songs, then disappeared from the music scene. Yusuke was soon spotted again fronting the band Polaris, but Kenichi was never heard from again. I really do wonder what happened to him. Did he just tire of making music? Most likely, but it will remain a mystery.
