<strong>PARK</strong> <strong>HYATT</strong> <strong>TOKYO</strong> <strong>TAPS</strong> <strong>JAPANESE</strong> <strong>FASHION</strong> <strong>ICON</strong> <strong>AND</strong><br />
MASTERMIND OF A BATHING APE® TO PRODUCE<br />
SECOND MUSIC COMPILATION<br />
<strong>TOKYO</strong> SUITE Selected By NIGO® To Hit Stores November 25, 2009<br />
<strong>TOKYO</strong> (September 2009) --- In a unique collaboration, Park Hyatt Tokyo, celebrating its 15 th year<br />
as one of the world’s distinguished modern luxury hotels, has teamed up with NIGO®, producer, DJ<br />
and founder of the much-acclaimed Japanese clothing brand, A Bathing Ape®, to produce its second<br />
music compilation. The album, titled <strong>TOKYO</strong> SUITE Selected by NIGO®, will hit stores on<br />
November 25, 2009.<br />
Known for his musical ties with Pharrell Williams of the award-winning N.E.R.D. and The<br />
Neptunes and as the DJ and “concept producer” of TERIYAKI BOYZ® (released on his own record<br />
label, Bape Sounds), NIGO®, has created an album celebrating the hotel’s connectivity with a city<br />
whose film, fashion, art and entertainment have captured the hearts and minds of travellers from<br />
around the world. Hip hop, house and lounge beats from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s take centre<br />
stage on the 1hour 5minute composition made up of an all Japanese line-up of artists, creating both<br />
a sense of nostalgia and a refreshing and eclectic mix.<br />

Drawing inspiration from his time spent in Park Hyatt Tokyo’s Tokyo Suite, a 220 sq m luxury suite<br />
on the 50 th floor, NIGO® said, “I wanted to capture the mixed culture of Tokyo by blending<br />
Japanese underground classics and the modern luxury of Park Hyatt Tokyo through music.”<br />
“NIGO® has revolutionised Tokyo’s street wear culture. Now, with his worldwide retail shops,<br />
children’s line and record label, BAPE has transcended trends and become a lifestyle brand,” said<br />
Philippe Roux-Dessarps, general manager of Park Hyatt Tokyo. “As a valued guest of our hotel, it<br />
was very natural for us to collaborate and get his unique insight into creating a product that would<br />
capture the essence of the city of Tokyo.”<br />
The album will be available at A Bathing Ape shops worldwide and online at www.us.bape.com for<br />
U.S. residents. In Japan, the CD will be sold at select record shops and in Park Hyatt Tokyo’s<br />
Online Shop (http://shop.parkhyatttokyo.com).<br />
