Singer-songwriter Yoriko Ichinomiya makes a unique kind of haunting, melancholic folk with jazz influences; in some ways, her music is reminiscent of artists of the New Weird America such as Marissa Nadler, Silver Summit or the Espers. And not only her style is unique; it is deeply moving and very even in quality. I can try hard, I cannot find any negative thing to say about this album. The songs are incredibly beautiful, soothing yet sad, and otherworldly. Highly recommended to any lover of folk music, especially if you enjoy the artists mentioned above.

A lovely debut album from Yuuko Ishibashi. The songs are quite varied, ranging from folk and world to jazz and neoclassical music. Ishibashi-san wrote the lyrics to tracks 7 ＆ 8 (the jazzy ones). For those who are not familiar with this artist (who performed some songs for Ar-Tonelico), her soprano vocals are among the most beautiful of the Japanese scene. The overall style is quite soft; maybe we could expect something more audacious for her second album? This said, this release is really enjoyable. The album is a bit short, however -only 10 songs apart from the intro. I can’t wait to listen to her next release, because this first album sure sounds promising.
