RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Sonoko Inoue is one of the most notable Japanese singer-songwriters to watch right now. She has gained attention for her original worldview, where she weaves stories from the simple moments of everyday life using unadorned words. Her music blends traditional influences like country and bluegrass, genres she has been familiar with since childhood, alongside Japanese pop, and even the sounds of her beloved Ozzy Osbourne. These diverse musical influences come together in her unique and distinctive songs. Though she has not been playing guitar for long, it is surprising how deeply rooted her musicality has already become, with a richness that resonates through her work. However, the landscapes she sings about are not always peaceful. The sorrow, frustration, and misery found in the overlooked lives of society's "dropouts" in the corners of Japanese cities are depicted with raw honesty. Her captivating voice lingers in the listener's ears, at times gently offering comfort, and at other times sharply confronting something right in front of her. Her debut album Hokorobi features live performances captured in one take with just vocals and guitar, filled with the same intensity and tension as her daily live shows.

I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.

Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.

Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊

Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.

The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!

Great shop, I can only recommend it.

I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.

honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!

Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.

Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.

Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
