ARISA NAKANO "Aoi Sakana (Blue Fish)" 7inch

★Limited First Edition

Arisa Nakano, who appeared in Wim Wenders' latest film "PERFECT DAYS," is the first member of "Magico," a music project featuring young actresses. The song is a cover of "Aoi Sakana" by Sachiko Kanenobu, a song featured in "PERFECT DAYS" and released as a 7-inch single.

As the first summer installment of this project, Arisa Nakano, who plays the niece of the main character played by Koji Yakusho in the latest film "Perfect Days" (nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards) directed by Wim Wenders, a German master filmmaker, appeared on stage. The song is a cover of " Aoi Sakana" (Blue Fish), a song featured in "Perfect Days," which was written by Sachiko Kanenobu (1972), a singer/songwriter who is currently attracting worldwide attention, and will be released as a 7-inch single.

The coupling track is a cover of "Moon River," a song Nakano has been familiar with since she was a child, which was sung by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and has become a standard.

Produced by Seiichi Yamamoto, a musician who has long been at the forefront of the Japanese alternative scene as one of the vanguard of avant-pop. Nakano's dignified voice and Yamamoto's sound-making create a miraculous chemical reaction. The song "Aoi Sakana" in which Nakano's voice shines amidst a faintly psychedelic sound, and the indescribably beautiful "Moon River," are also interesting to listen to because they were created by Seiichi Yamamoto.

Also of note is the cover art using Nakano's photo taken by Naoko Kumagai, a photographer who has worked on photo books of famous actresses, as well as a short video also shot and edited by Kumagai.
