I'll give it a bash. My comments in [], and I suck at translation, so the phrasing is a bit weird:

Underworld, UNKLE sign with Traffic (6th April 2007)

This time, Traffic brings you information about Underworld and UNKLE's signing up to Traffic for the Japan region.

Underworld's Karl Hyde (Vo/G) and UNKLE's James Lavelle, and Traffic's Company President Hiroshi Nakamura [I guess Hiroshi, there's a few ways to read that name] made the contracts and had the following to say about it:

* Karl Hyde (Underworld): We been able to work with Traffic's Ray Hahn [spelling?] Hiroshi Nakamura for a long time, and they have assembled a great team of very talented people, so I'm very pleased to enter into a contract with them. We're really looking forward to this exciting new venture. In cooperation with traffic, Rick and I are incredibly excited about bringing the "world of underworld" to Japanese fans.

* James Lavelle (UNKLE): I'm really happy to be able to release a new album with Japan's coolest label!

* Hiroshi Nakamura (Traffic): The dance music scene's biggest hit, Underworld, and the street culture scene leader, UNKLE, both artists continue to represent the spirit of the art of the 90s [ugh, hard to translate]. It's a huge honour to sign this sort of artist and it will surely be a great honour to carry their projects.

Underworld's first single is planned for this summer, and their 5th original album is planned for release this autumn. UNKLE's 3rd original album is set for release in June. After this, expect more releases from both artists!
