A song that blesses all life.

The analog version of Ichiko Aoba's 7th original album "Adan no Kaze," originally released in December 2020, will be released as a 2-LP set. Conceived as a "soundtrack for an imaginary film," this work has been highly anticipated on vinyl by fans both in Japan and overseas. Collaborating with musician Taro Umebayashi as co-composer and arranger, the album moves beyond her signature acoustic guitar work, drawing the listener into an imaginary cinematic world with a dense soundscape incorporating chamber music and classical influences. Through Umebayashi’s deep interpretation of Aoba’s narrative, the work achieves a profound musical expression, reaching new artistic heights. A colorful 14-track soundtrack.
