Kira Kira [Regular Edition]

[Machine Translation] "Welcome to the place where the sun shines. Cocco's 6th album in about a year. The concept is "Okinawa"! Cocco and the staff themselves renovated a warehouse in a villa deep in the mountains of Kunigami-mura, Okinawa, to create a private studio called "Sanzan Studio," where they recorded at home. The music was recorded under the brilliant sunlight, the moonlight, and the star-filled sky, as if the music was breathing. This is the first original work under his own name to include cover songs. Other works include a collaboration with producer Susumu Nagata. While retaining the core of Cocco's past musical taste, this shocking work contains songs that greatly exceed the image of Cocco! All songs are mixed by Steve Orchard, who has engineered, mixed, and produced for U2, TRAVIS, and JEORGE MICHEAL. The song "Sweet Fragrance" was chosen as the theme song for the movie "Far in the Sky" and "Harehireho" for NHK Educational's "What to Do? Chikyu no Ashita" theme song!

"ようこそ、陽の当たる場所へ。" Cocco約1年ぶりの6thアルバム。ずばりコンセプトは"沖縄"! 沖縄・国頭村の山奥にある別荘の倉庫をCoccoとスタッフ自らの手で改装し作られたプライベート・スタジオ"燦々スタジオ"での合宿ホーム・レコーディング。地元・沖縄での生活の中から生まれ育っていく自然体の音楽を、燦々と降り注ぐ太陽の光や煌々と照らし出す月の灯り、満天の星空の下で、呼吸するかのようなレコーディングで生まれた。自身名義のオリジナル作品としては初めてカバー曲を収録。他にはプロデューサー長田進との共演作など、これまでのCocco音楽テイストの核は残しつつも、イメージを大きく超える楽曲を収録した衝撃作! U2、TRAVIS、JEORGE MICHEALなどの作品でエンジニア、ミックス、プロデュースを手掛ける大物Steve Orchardが全曲MIX! 収録曲「甘い香り」は映画『遠くの空に消えた』主題歌に、「ハレヒレホ」はNHK教育「ど～する? 地球のあした」テーマ曲に決定!!
