It is a work that divides the songs released so far into two pieces, “White” and “Kuro”.
``White'' has a pop side, and ``black'' strongly expresses elements such as SOUL, R&B, JAZZ, and gospel.
It represents the colors of the ``white keys'' and ``black keys'' of the piano you play.
 
In addition, the first limited edition includes
Contains the first part of the Yaon Live “SAKAI YU “LOVERS” CONCERT 4 in YAON” held for four years since 2019 at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall in Tokyo in April this year!
 
Additionally, as a bonus with the album, you'll also be able to get the serial number for pre-orders for the hall tour that was announced to be held next spring!
 
 
<Comment from Yu Sakai>
This time, we will be releasing our first best album "Yuu Sakai's Playlist [White and Black]".
I think everyone has their own interpretation of how the songs on the two albums [White and Black] are divided.
The piano also has white keys and black keys, and when you listen to it, the gradation of each sound is different, so
I would be happy if you could enjoy the various aspects of Yu Sakai as a culmination of this best album.
