Minuano's masterpiece debut album, released in 2009, is being reissued on clear purple colored vinyl!Minuano, a pop project led by percussionist and composer Takero Ogata, featuring Lamp vocalist Kaori Sakakibara. Their debut album is truly a gem, with Kaori's crystalline vocals blending seamlessly into a soundscape that uniquely reimagines soft rock, jazz, and city pop, enveloping the listener in a languid yet warm sense of floating. 'Lemon Elegy' immediately draws you in from the intro with it's delicate, bossa-flavored arrangement and breathy flute tones. 'Soleil' beautifully showcases fragile, whispery vocals intertwined with rich, intricate chord progressions. 'A Mischievous Wind' was the very first song produced by Minuano. A genuine masterpiece where supreme pop unfolds in dazzling, dramatic fashion.
