This deliberately bold duo adopted the concept of “lullabies for adults” and they independently released their first album, *If All the World Were Paper* (2024), recorded in one take at LM Studio in Osaka.\nThis second album, *Play Nursery Rhymes and Children’s Songs*, was created with the vision of publishing a storybook, further refining and developing the unique world they’ve crafted into a more intricate soundscape. Two of the four tracks are new recordings featuring the Shiga Prefecture lullaby “Nennen Mori no” and the masterpiece “Buranko,” with lyrics by Masuyo Tsuzuki and music by Yasushi Akutagawa; the other two tracks are reworked versions of British folk songs— “Hey Diddle Diddle” and “There Was an Old Woman~,” which stood out in *If All the World…*. Through *Play…*, Tokiyo Ooto and Orhythmo use highly contemporary methods to dredge up from the depths of their symbols the remnants of the mythical quality that songs must have inherently possessed but have since been lost over the course of history, and present them to us in an allegorical form. Recording, mixing, and mastering were handled by Ippei Suda at LM Studio, and the artwork was created by Yoshikazu Ano.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Em Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484266881313,"sku":"4560283215929","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4560283215929.jpg?v=1789046537","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-nl\/products\/4560283215929","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
