Description:

Akihito Okano explores music with artists of various genres in the "Walkin' with a song" project. The project's first album "Walkin' with a song" has been released! In addition to "MELODY (prod. by BREIMEN)," a song released last year that became a hot topic as a collaboration between Akihito Okano, Osamu Iguchi (King Gnu), and BREIMEN, "Hikari Are" with lyrics by n-buna and music composed and arranged by Hiroyuki Sawano, and a song by Yuki Tsujimura, who Okano himself had long been eager to provide music for. The album also includes "Shaft of Light" by Yuki Tsujimura, to which Okano himself had long been eager to contribute music, and "Sono no Soto no Hikari e" that expresses the worldview of Suga Shikao, whom Okano has known both in public and private life, and whom he looks up to as a musician and teacher. The album also features the participation of many artists and musicians, including n-buna (Yorshka), Ayato Ohara (Tempalay), Hiroo Yamaguchi, and Yoshiyasu Ichikawa. In addition, Akihito Okano himself wrote the lyrics and composed the music for the newly recorded songs, making this the first album of the project and the definitive album.
