Yurina Hamano x Hirosato Ito

[Machine Translation] Calling out, enveloping, scooping up. It's all there in "Singing" (Photographer: Reindeer). The long-awaited first full-length album by the duo of SSW Yurina Hamano and guitarist Hirotetsu Ito, completely recorded with environmental sounds, songs, and two classical guitars. Yurina Hamano is a singer/songwriter who sings unconventionally in various genres based on Kumamoto Aso folk songs from her hometown, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and Hirotetsu Ito is a guitarist and composer in the instrumental jazz band "QUIN' KRANTZ". The long-awaited first full-length album by this classical guitar duo of two musicians with different musical experiences has been released. The album was recorded in Karuizawa with the sounds of the forest (insects and rain), and the recording time and studio environment were changed for each song to create a gradation of seasons throughout the album. This debut album is filled with the atmosphere of the moment created by one-shot recording, and is full of humanity, giving us, who live in this age of information overload, time to pause for a moment.
