Mori wa Ikiteiru "Good Night" LP

★First Press Limited Edition
★With Obi Strip

The two masterpiece albums from "Mori wa Ikiteiru," a band that held a peerless presence in the Tokyo indie scene of the 2010s, are revived through new mixes by the members themselves!

After the band's dissolution, the central figure Takuro Okada—who has garnered immense support as a producer, arranger, and mix engineer—has poured his experience, sensibilities, and passion, cultivated over more than a decade, into this supreme soundscape!

"Mori wa Ikiteiru" was a band highly acclaimed for their delicate songwriting in Japanese and rich ensemble work, blending diverse musical influences such as folk, psychedelia, jazz, and chamber pop with their own unique sensibilities. Although their active period was short, they held a one-of-a-kind presence in the Tokyo indie scene of the 2010s, and their two albums, "Mori wa Ikiteiru" (2013) and "Good Night" (2014), remain supported by many listeners to this day.

Following the band's breakup in 2015, while the members pursued individual projects, the central figure Takuro Okada has continued to explore his own sonic expression while working on numerous projects as a producer, arranger, and mix engineer. For this new mix, he has utilized his current perspective gained through that experience to update the sound into a more three-dimensional and expansive soundstage, while maintaining the atmosphere and charm of the performances exactly as they were at the time of recording.

This reissue, realized after more than a decade, serves as a signpost connecting the music of "Mori wa Ikiteiru" to contemporary listeners. Its fresh, vibrant sound will resonate not only with those who have known the works since back then but also with generations encountering this sound for the first time.
