Tavito Nanao’s latest work, Long Voyage, is eagerly anticipated for its vinyl release. The 2-disc LP analog edition will be released as a complete limited production on July 7th.

Following the conclusion of the tour for his previous album Stray Dogs, the world was enveloped by the pandemic. During the two years since 2020, a collection of songs has been compiled, featuring carefully selected 17 tracks as the centerpiece of his latest album Long Voyage, set for a special release on Tanabata Day.

The singer-songwriter, who has amazed audiences around the world with various stories told through just voices and guitar, took the plunge into his first full-band recording experience, sparked by the encounter with his dear friends from the Stray Band (Kan Sano, Shou Ogawa, Shingo Suzuki, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto) on this album. 

With the largest cast of guest players ever assembled, including them, he embarks on a grand musical journey around the world post-pandemic, acquiring a new soundscape no one could achieve. The band ensemble and the sounds of strings breathe new life into each track, showcasing their true value with the warm sound of the analog edition.

In the modern world where the pace of consumption is ever accelerating, Tavito Nanao relentlessly pursues the radiance of life and the small cries of someone living in the corner of society, transforming them into beautiful melodies with their emotion. When you slowly flip over this magical disc, which endlessly spins, and listen closely, you can allow various thoughts to flow, experiencing an irreplaceable moment in time.

Visit the record shops that have continued to keep the surefire flame of music burning in the corners of the city and, please, discover it from the shelves adorned with the masterpiece albums that color the pop song history. Moments like that would make you born once again.
