Mimi ni Fuwa

[Machine Translation] Akiko Higashikawa's new album is completed after 3 years since her first album "Slow Life"! Since her debut in 2004 with "Nami Nami", a clean and pop piano album, Akiko Higashikawa has continued to release new albums and perform live at her own pace. This album is full of songs with a warm atmosphere full of Akiko Higashikawa's signature happiness, while focusing more on arrangements and sound than ever before. This album is produced by Tadashi Ueda, who has worked on numerous soundtracks including "Tokyo Tower" and "Homeless Junior High School Students" as well as live and recording support members for various artists such as Kyoko Koizumi, Original Love, and Motohiro Hata, and Satoki Higashi of small circle of friends. The album was produced with Shojiro Konishi, who is also active as a drummer. The music has a natural language, catchy melodies that make you want to sing along, relaxed vocals, and a worldview from a child's perspective that is similar to that of children's songs. Supporting musicians include Daisuke Ito (Clammbon), Tatsuya Kashima, Yasuhiro Nakamori (Hicksville), and Isao Yoshii (Yoshimba).

東川亜希子の「スローライフ」から約3年振りのニュー・アルバムが完成!! 2004年、清廉でポップなピアノ弾語りアルバム「ナミナミ」でデビュー以降、マイペースなリリースとライブを続ける東川亜希子。今まで以上にアレンジやサウンドに拘りながらも東川亜希子の持ち味である幸福感溢れる温かい雰囲気の楽曲がぎっしりと詰まったアルバム。今作は、プロデューサーに映画「東京タワー」「ホームレス中学生」など数々のサントラや小泉今日子、オリジナル・ラブ、秦基博など様々なアーティストのライブやレコーディングサポートメンバーとして活躍してきた上田禎とsmall circle of friendsの東里起、ドラマーとしても活躍中の小西昭次郎を迎えて制作。自然体の言葉と思わず口ずさみたくなるようなどこまでもキャッチーなメロディ、力の抜けたユル～イボーカル、童謡などにも通じるような子供目線の世界観が魅力!! サポートミュージシャンには、伊藤大介(クラムボン)、鹿島達也、中森泰弘(ヒックスビル)、吉井功(ヨシンバ)らが参加。
