[Machine Translation] SEBASTIAN X's 2nd Full Album "POWER OF NOISE" released in August 2013 was a smash hit, and their previous albums have been selling well. The acoustic unit "OTOSHIBA" is made up of two female members, Manatsu Nagahara (Vo.) and Ayuri Kudo (Key). The unit has been active since before SEBASTIAN X, but has continued to perform at their own pace and in a free-spirited manner. This album is their first release in circulation. Originally released in January 2014 as a 5-song CD only at some stores and live venues, it was well received for its high quality. For the many people who are unable to obtain it, two newly recorded songs have been added and nationwide distribution has begun in a new guise. The album was produced at "Hoshi to Niji Studio," a mountain cabin studio in Yamanashi that was built as Clammbon's private studio, with Makoto Hoshino (Clammbon, etc.), an old friend of the band, as the engineer. The warm acoustic recording is also excellent. Not only the music, but also the looks, character, and sense of Manatsu Nagahara, the vocalist, are noteworthy. While working as a staff member of "Hikari," a secondhand clothing shop in Koenji that offers a unique fashion culture, she has also published a poetry collection "To the Rabbits of the 3,000 Worlds" (sold out), made her debut as a film director, and appeared on talk shows.

2013年8月にリリースした2nd Full Album『POWER OF NOISE』もスマッシュヒットを記録、さらに旧作もロングセールスを持続中、レコ発ツアーも各地大盛況と勢いに乗るSEBASTIAN XのVo.永原真夏/Key.工藤歩里という女性メンバー2人によるアコースティック・ユニット「音沙汰」。実はSEBASTIAN Xより前から活動をしているユニットだが、マイペースかつ自由奔放な活動を続けていた。本作は初の流通盤となる。元々は2014年1月に一部店舗/ライブ会場のみで5曲入りCDとして販売していたものだったが、その作品性の高さが評判を呼ぶ。入手できない多くの人のために、新録2曲を追加し、装い新たに全国流通スタート。クラムボンのプライベートスタジオとして作られた山梨の山小屋スタジオ「星と虹スタジオ」で旧知の仲である星野誠(クラムボン等)をエンジニアに迎え制作。暖かみのあるアコースティック録音も素晴らしい。音楽だけでなく、Vo.永原真夏のルックス/キャラクター/センスにも注目したい。高円寺で独自のファッションカルチャーを発信している古着屋「光」のスタッフをやる傍ら、詩集『三千世界の兎たちへ』を発表(完売)、また、映画監督デビュー、トークライブへの出演など、マルチな活動を展開し、多くのティーン女子のファンを持つ。
