満島ひかり Hikari Mitsushima – 踊るノアール Odoru Noir (LP)

"Odoru Noir" (踊るノアール) is a sophisticated 12-inch vinyl single by the acclaimed Japanese artist Hikari Mitsushima. Released as a limited Record Store Day 2026 exclusive, this record highlights Mitsushima’s evolution as a singer following her work in the film Housenka.

The title track is a creative collaboration with the genre-bending band cero, who produced the music to complement Mitsushima's own evocative lyrics. The result is a smooth, atmospheric "noir" sound that blends city-pop sensibilities with modern indie-jazz influences.

Key Highlights:

• A-Side: Features the lead single "Odoru Noir," a track defined by its rhythmic groove and Mitsushima's ethereal vocals.
• B-Side: Typically includes an instrumental or a "naked" version of the track, allowing listeners to appreciate the intricate production by cero.
• Packaging: Housed in a beautifully designed sleeve that reflects the cinematic and moody aesthetic of the music.

This release is a must-have for collectors of contemporary Japanese vinyl, bridging the gap between high-concept film music and avant-garde pop.
