Nao Kodama's first solo acoustic album, Revelation

It features self-covers of songs such as "Setogiwa no Marmalade," released under the name "Nao Kodama × Kan Sano", and "SPARK," known for her collaboration with Hanaregumi, as well as "MAKER", a live staple. The album also includes a new original song titled "Ibuki", a cover of Yukiko Konno's "Tokini Makasete", and a cover of Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross" (Japanese version) available for streaming. The recording and mix were handled by Naoyuki Uchida.

Regarding the cover of "Tokini Makasete", Yukiko Konno shared her thoughts:

"This song resonates deeply in the heart and feels like a much-needed song for the world today. Her voice is also lovely."

The title "Revelation" was inspired by a friend who suggested it after seeing the photo on the album cover.
Nao Kodama reflects on the meaning behind the title, explaining that often, the lyrics of new songs gain significance over time as they are sung, sometimes revealing insights that were not initially apparent. Playing the guitar and singing can transport one instantly to various places around the world, regardless of current restrictions on movement. This realization reinforces the essence of music, even amidst calls for restraint.

The album was created for those who cherish the simple freedoms we often take for granted, aiming to provide a momentary escape to listeners, regardless of their circumstances
