DESCRIPTION
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.

For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)

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.
