安田寿之 7thアルバム + 村上由希映 写真集
世界的コンピ「Red Hot + Rio 2」への参加などをキャリアハイライトとしながら音楽と社会の新しい関わりを模索する安田寿之による、シンプルな楽器構成の7thソロアルバム。奈良県在住でAPAアワードなどで受賞、南夏希とのコラボレーションなども行う村上由希映による写真集。2者による音楽と写真の共作。
スタンダードのように美しい作曲に、ジャズ的オーセンティックな編曲を施した楽曲群。フェルトピアノと少しのシンセ（安田寿之）、コントラバス（飯田雅春）、ギター（山本のりこ）だけで演奏されたバッキングに、ブラジル系バンドBophanaでも活動してきたLica、ブラジル音楽を中心に活動する山本のりこ、ソロをはじめRose-Unlimitedや5th Gardenなどで活動してきた岩下清香、ジャズやブラジル音楽を独自の唱法で歌う行川さをりの4人の歌手が日本語で作詞、歌唱している。それらに合わせKatiをモデルに撮り下ろされた作品とミニマルな作品で構成された、村上由希映の写真群。映画をイメージした音とヴィジュアルの静かな交錯が、女性の力を感じさせる一体作として結実している。
Toshiyuki Yasuda's 7th solo album (CD / High-Res Digital Audio) + Yukie Murakami's photo book
The 7th solo album by Toshiyuki Yasuda, whose career highlights include his participation in the global compilation "Red Hot + Rio 2," and who is exploring new connections between music and society, featuring a simple instrumental composition. A photo book by Murakami Yukie, who lives in Nara Prefecture and has won awards such as the APA Award, and has collaborated with Minami Natsuki. The two collaborate on music and photography.
Beautiful standard-like compositions feature authentic jazz arrangements. Backed only by a felt piano, a few synths (Toshiyuki Yasuda), double bass (Masaharu Iida), and guitar (Noriko Yamamoto), the lyrics and vocals are written in Japanese by four singers: Lica, who has been active in the Brazilian band Bophana; Noriko Yamamoto, who focuses on Brazilian music; Seika Iwashita, who has performed solo and in bands such as Rose-Unlimited and 5th Garden; and Sawori Namekawa, who sings jazz and Brazilian music with her own unique style. The accompanying photographs by Yukie Murakami are composed of minimalist works and original works shot with Kati as the model. The quiet interplay of cinematic sound and visuals has resulted in a unified work that evokes the power of women.

グナワ文化とブルースに精通し独自の融合を行うThe Firefly Clan（津嶋利仁）と、世界的コンピ「Red Hot + Rio 2」への参加などをキャリアハイライトとしながら音楽と社会の新しい関わりを模索する安田寿之は、信頼し合う仲間として共作・共演を行ってきた。今作は、The Firefly Clanが沖縄の美しい宿somosで行ったギターと歌の録音をベースに、安田寿之がフェルトピアノをダビングし仕上げた連作。人と自然が結び付くような深淵さを醸す音響により、シンガーソングライター曲が無上のアンビエントに廓大されている。
Well versed in Gnawa music and blues, The Firefly Clan (a.k.a Toshihito Tsushima) has been pursuing a unique style of fusion music. Toshiyuki Yasuda, with his participation in the global compilation "Red Hot + Rio 2" as one of the highlights of his career, continues to explore new relationships between music and society. They have been collaborating and occasionally producing and performing together as trusted partners in music. The album is the works in which Toshiyuki Yasuda dubs felt piano based on guitar and vocal recordings made by The Firefly Clan at the beautiful inn in Okinawa "somos". The singer-songwriter's songs are elevated to a supreme ambient soundscape, evoking a profound connection between people and nature.
Various rhythms lurk in the everyday. Subtleties hidden in the landscape. Kita Kouhei, a musician and percussionist based in Kyoto and Yotukura Yukiihiko, a folk performing arts enthusiast, musician, and sound artist based in Ishinomaki. Percussion, guitar, array mbira, analog synth, shinobue flute, and environmental sounds. Using Array Mbira: the mysterious Instrument evolving the African Mbira to enable chord playing, string instruments, the shinobue flute that is the very essence of folk performing arts, and analog synths, they paint a mysterious landscape that seems both ordinary and extraordinary. The first release, Resonance #1, is a series of works that combine the pure resonance of the two artists' ambience, without any themes or concepts.
This is a remix of "Home" by Toshiyuki Yasuda from Masaenomad's second album, "Domestic Sounds" released in May 2025. The original's blues and folk atmosphere has been expanded into a more cinematic direction centered around felt piano and strings, while still making full use of the simple and beautiful melody.
The lyrics were sung to a child who was never born. The poem describes home as a place where those who have passed away can return during Obon, an ancient Japanese belief in ancestral spirits and a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors.
The single also makes use of the latest AI technology, such as separating the vocals from the original guitar and vocal accompaniment, and creating a remix jacket using the house part from the original jacket.

世界的コンピ「Red Hot + Rio 2」への参加などをキャリアハイライトとしながら音楽と社会の新しい関わりを模索する安田寿之の7作目のアルバムが、今秋リリース予定です。安田寿之（伴盤/Roland KIYOLA）に加え、このアルバムに参加した、ジャズやブラジル音楽を独自の唱法で歌う行川さをり（ヴォーカル）、ジャズベーシストでありながらジャンルを越境した新たな表現を目指すクリエイターの飯田雅春（コントラバス）による3人編成。
Formed in 1999 by vocalist san and trackmaker Nerve, the electronic/triphop/dub duo antennasia wil release their ninth and latest album, ‘Channel Low’, this July. The new album skilfuly incorporates elements of trip-hop and dub. However, this time, the central theme is “groove,” with the driving force of bass and drums standing out throughout the entire album, creating a sense of dynamism not found in the previous release. At the same time, when viewed as a whole, it expands into a multilayered and original soundscape that transcends genre boundaries, making it difficult to categorize.
Masaenomad, a singer-songwriter who released "Packaging and Unpacking" in 2016, has released a nine-track album of sounds she recorded from her daily life. The title of the album includes the desire to resonate with the lives of listeners. The songs which have been cultivated by singing and playing acoustic guitar in live performances have a breadth that can only be achieved through recording, while respecting the simple atmosphere of blues and folk. Guest musicians who add colors to the album include Takezo (from Napple Tapple), Yasuyo (from Dried Bonito), Hiro Yoshimoto, and Toshihito Tsushima. The mastering was done by Toshiyuki Yasuda, following the previous album.
