MIDICRONICA, known as the final legacy of Nujabes and the ending theme of the globally acclaimed anime 'Samurai Champloo' and singer Hiro-a-key (origami PRODUCTIONS), who is also active globally under the name Nenashi, have teamed up to release 'Itsumosobani' on 7-inch vinyl. This work is a split album of songs by Shin-Ski, the poster child of Lo-Fi Hip-Hop, and KO-ney, an official AKAI Professional player and one of Japan's leading finger drummers, and includes two songs, the mellow and nostalgic 'Itsumosobani' based on jazz, and the emotional and laid-back 'Itsumo Soba ni'. Hiro-a-key's pale and fleeting singing voice and MIDICRONICA's unadorned words will touch your heart when you think of someone important.
