Naoko Takeuchi

The second instrumental album by Naoko Takeuchi, who spins memorable melodies with great care. This is the long-awaited second original album, the first in five years. This album also features a Steinway piano, hall recording, and outstanding recording technology to create a warm acoustic sound full of visuals. The free interplay with bassist Masahiro Sawada has been further refined, and with the help of Satoshi Hashimoto, an engineer with an established reputation for acoustic recordings, an even more delicate and unique world has been expressed. The second volume focuses on songs inspired by "winter," including "Ice World," "The First Snow," "I Was Watching the Rain Sound," and other original numbers that have been well received at recent hall live performances, as if inviting you into a different space where snow blows and dances. The unique atmosphere of "piano sings melodies," which consistently flows through a variety of approaches, including arrangements of Joe Hisaishi's songs, shoka arrangements, and covers of lyrical songs by jazz fusion master Bob James, will be a soothing soundscape for listeners in the chaos of the world. It is a piece of music that brings a quiet peace of mind to everyday life. (C)RS
