Soshite Taiyo no Hikari wo [CD+DVD]

[Machine Translation] Miwa Sasakawa's first original full-length album in four and a half years is warm music formed only with thoughtful and necessary sounds, the opposite of the lively music that is crammed without gaps. 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. This is a work that you can listen to forever, as if melting into the slow winter time. The bonus DVD includes MUSIC VIDEO of "Iniquity", "Foolish Wishes", "City Lights", and LIVE footage ("Laughter" from 2013.8.31@SARAVAH Tokyo).

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。特典DVDには「咎」「愚かな願い」「都会の灯」のMUSIC VIDEO、LIVE映像 (2013.8.31＠SARAVAH東京より「笑」を収録。
