Soshite Taiyo no Hikari wo

[Machine Translation] Miwa Sasagawa's first full-length album of original music in four and a half years is the opposite of the lively music that is crammed without gaps; it is thoughtful, warm music formed with only the necessary sounds. By doing so, her crystal-clear voice and warm, sometimes piercing words reach straight to the listener. That is the kind of music she aimed for with this album. A limited number of superb members and a minimum of necessary instruments. She was particular about the recording method, and did not repeat many takes. Please enjoy the emotion and warmth of music played by people. A work that can be listened to forever, as if melting into the slowly flowing time of winter.

笹川美和、4年半振りのオリジナル・フル・アルバムは、隙間なく詰め込まれたにぎやかしい音楽とは対極にある、考え抜かれた、必要な音だけで形成された暖かい音楽。そうすることによって、透き通るような歌声や、暖かく、時に突き刺さるような言葉がまっすぐに届く。今作で彼女はそういう音楽を目指した。限定された極上のメンバーと必要最小限の楽器。録音方法にこだわり、テイクを多く重ねない。人が奏でる音楽の感情と暖かみを味わってください。冬のゆっくりと流れる時間に溶け込んでいくような、いつまでも聴く事のできる作品。
