Record bag: Hosaka Akane, Bambino, solange et delphine
In my record bag last weekend...
Hosaka Akane "nikoniko denki muzic"
An adorable CD-R album of a girl with her Moog and toy instruments, apparently sold only at Enban, and that for only ¥500! The fresh feeling reminded me of when I first heard Minekawa Takako's "Cloudy Cloud Calculator". Some songs also evoke Plone memories.
Best of all, when listening to track 2, and without even first looking at the track title, I thought "this sounds like Kurekure Takora BGM!". Sure enough it's called "Pocket of Music ~Takora to Chonbo ni sasageru uta~" and Akane says that was her inspiration. Great!!
I'll have to check out her other works, and hope to catch her live someday.
Bambino "il bambino ed Rock"
This is Bambino, aka Ban Hiroshi, who I had first known from the 524 Records re-release a few years ago. This is a 6-song rock'n'roll mini-album that was first released in 2001 on vinyl only, and then re-released a year later in this CD edition with a bonus Groove Unchant remix. Can't help but dance.
solange et delphine "Cosmetique Standards"
Their latest single/EP that I already said I picked up at their show. Mixed and mastered by Yoshida Tetsuto, this is by far their best sounding release to this day. Always with some Pizzicato hints here and there, some chord sequences also remind me of True Love Always (Teenbeat).
Update (2007/7/27): Hosaka Akane's music can now be heard at her MySpace.
