Notes:
Karakui Music Sample 5: “Eisā Nagashi”. Negaiboshi is Ayano’s solo debut album and like her singer-songwriter contemporary IREI Asano, Ayano contributed her own compositions (words and music) for the first two tracks. (Additional credits for Ayano include the music for Track 4 and the lyrics for Track 8.) The songs on the album fills a niche between the pop sound of IREI Asano’s works and the straight forward minyou of UCHIZATO Mika—both are her contemporaries. She’s also on one of my favorite albums from 2005, “Yonaha Tōru Presents ‘Uchinā Warabe Uta’”, which was featured on Karakui 10 months ago. Surprisingly, she has no web address yet (compare this with IREI Asano who has her own website [we’ll forgive her web designer for the use of “Brog” instead of “Blog”] and Podcast!) although we were able to Google up a Yahoo! Japan blog which looks legit.
