RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Mioko Yamaguchi's original albums "Tokisakashima," "FLOMA," and "FAIRYTHM" are now available in analog form!
Released as their first new full album since the internationally acclaimed 1983 masterpiece "Tsukihime"!
This work, positioned as a sequel to Tsukihime, advances the unique worldview of Tsukihime with the concept of "devil fantasy" while retaining the essence of Japanesque, Oriental, and Japanese-Western fusion. A magnificent piece.
A group of songs that fully demonstrate their updated melody sense and allow you to enjoy the charm of beautiful synth sounds.
Teaming up again with Hideki Matsutake, who participated in "Yume Hikou," "NIRVANA," and "Tsukihime," the "synth-pop genius" will weave a new story.
"Seirei no Mori" has an intro sound reminiscent of a deep night forest, a tense melody that develops deeper and stronger from the chorus, and an excellent mix of East and West that foretells the beginning of a "mysterious fantasy".
The title song "Tokisakashima," which has the theme of "a journey back in time," perfectly expresses a mysterious worldview that feels like falling into water or diving to the bottom of the world, and the well-thought-out sound makeup creates beautiful ambient pop that shines.
"Koi wa Karageshi Natsu no" is the final part of the "Japanese style trilogy," following "Omatsuri" from the 1980 work "Yume Hikou" and "Satemo Appare Yumezakura" from the 1983 work "Tsukihime". "Yoi / Ton-Ten-Syan" is a Japanesque pop song that gives a vivid impression with the sound of the words "Ton-Ten-Syan" and the "shamisen x synth" sound.
"Ikoku Chouchou" is one of the most danceable songs on the album, packaging multinational elements, including ska and oriental, with an exquisite sense of balance.
"Elf no Wa" depicts the "dance of fairies," and the euphoria of minimal music and floating voice effects transport the listener to a different world.
"Ayakashi no Hana," which strongly embodies the album's keyword "you," is an oriental ballad featuring transparent synths and the melancholy beauty of the violin.
"Shiawase no Tsubu," a continuation of the title song "Tsukihime" from "Tsukihime," uses dazzling pop particles and sparkling songs to create the finest techno-synth pop.
This work, which began with "Seirei no Mori," is sublimated into a single story by the ending track "Seirei no Mori Spirit Forest Prologue," which serves as a companion (Sakashima), and announces the "prologue" of a new story.

from 30 reviewsI 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.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
