Yoko’s Back

Yoko Ono is releasing a “pop album” Sept. 16 with a new version of the Plastic Ono Band that includes some rather famous people.

In the band are her own son Sean, former Cibo Matto member Yuka Honda, Cornelius mastermind Keigo Oyamada, guitarist Hirotaka Shimizu of the influential indie group Bridge and Shimizu’s wife, drummer Yuko Araki.

Shimizu and Araki also play with Oyamada in the Cornelius Group.

The album, which will be released on the Japanese indie label P-Vine, is titled Between My Head and the Sky.

The band is already scheduled to play at the Tokyo International Forum Nov. 18 and Osaka Geijutsu Hall Nov. 24.

“Special guests” are being promised.
