Journey

[Machine Translation] The group is led by Tomoki Sekiya, bassist of the jazz band "TRI4TH", Anna Satoh, an Amami diva who sang in the theme song of the NHK historical drama "Saigo-don" and played the role of the sister-in-law of the main character in the Amami version, Hikari Shirato, the youngest Tsugaru shamisen player in Japan [from Shine & Shine], pianist Daisuke Takeuchi [from TRI4TH], drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki [from Nautilus]. The unit "Kurofune" is composed of pianist Daisuke Takeuchi [from TRI4TH] and drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki [from Nautilus], and their fusion of "JAZZ and traditional performing arts" and colorful music that includes Tsugaru shamisen from the north and shima-uta from the south is very attractive. This is their third album, and will be sold by Universal Muke! This album also features a new sensory sound that is a combination of Amami shimauta, Tsugaru shamisen, and jazz! From Okinawa's old songs and Okinawan folk songs to folk songs from Honshu, and even covers of jazz standards and fusion classics, the originality of "Kurofune"'s sound overflows!
