KYOKO KATSUNUMA + JUN MIYAKE "COLOMENA" CD

Kyoko Katsunuma, a vocalist who transcends language, has completed her first album in collaboration with Jun Miyake, 12 years in the making!

"It is said that each living thing carries a vast record of experiences in its DNA, and lives while inheriting these. What would it sound like to actually hear this record that exists quietly as an "inner voice"?" - Kyoko Katsunuma

Kyoko Katsunuma, who exudes a unique personality as one of Jun Miyake's vocalists, as well as a narrator and model, records her journey in search of her own "inner voice."
His long-awaited first album, "COLOMENA," which he has been working on since moving to Paris in 2005, is now complete, produced by Jun Miyake.
The syllables sung in most of the songs on this album are not in a specific language, but are like ineffable vibrations or spirits of words, expressing as distortion-free as possible the scenery she saw on her journey to find her "inner voice." Although these words are unknown to the listener, they enter the heart surprisingly naturally, evoking various memories, emotions, scenery and colors.

The ever-changing sound-making is unmistakably the world of Jun Miyake, and while it contains an other-dimensional feel reminiscent of the "Lost Memory Theatre" series, it is refreshing how it is filled with an unusually pop, floating feeling.
The album is comprised of 12 songs, including Katsunuma's own compositions, Miyake's compositions, collaborations, and covers. Experience the intimate communion with the "inner voice" that shows various expressions.
