OTOGIVANASHI "US" CD

The long-awaited new album, the first in 4 years, is soft and catchy guitar rock with a neo-soul feel! This masterpiece is born in time for their first solo show at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall!

The long-awaited original album (12th) in 4 years since "View" (2018). A timely release ahead of the long-awaited Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall solo performance on August 13, 2022. Kazuki Arima's lyrics, which strive to liberate himself from masculine expression with a gender-transcending perspective, match comfortably with the one-of-a-kind good melody. A supple and soft sound with a new sound that gives an impressive floating and euphoric feeling in a minimalist structure that makes full use of the gaps while eliminating unnecessary sounds. The key is the singing spirit that delivers clear hooks with simple words based on a soft live performance with a lower center of gravity and more restraint than before. It is a masterpiece with an attractive cross-sectional approach of catchy neo-soul and psychedelic guitar rock.
