$51.00

「森」をテーマに作られた haruka nakamura による蔦屋書店の音楽アルバム企画。
第二弾はピアノが主体となるアンビエントの世界。懐かしくも新しく響く音。 ジャケット写真は前作に続き親交の深い写真家・川内倫子。
2023年12月にCDアルバムとして発売された本作が、第一作目「青い森」と共に12インチ・レコードとしてリリース。

音楽家 haruka nakamuraが2023年-2024年、蔦屋書店の全国のいくつかの店内音楽を1年間、担当します。
楽曲は全て蔦屋書店プロジェクトのための書き下ろし曲。本を扱う書店のコンセプト、またピアノや楽器の生まれる地である「森」をテーマに、ナカムラの故郷・青森 と繋がったタイトル「青い森」と題し2024年夏までの期間中、全4作品のアルバムを制作予定。
第1弾 「青い森」ではキャリア初のシンセサイザーのみの音楽で話題となり、多くのリスナーに愛聴されている。第2弾はピアノ・アンビエントの世界。大人気作品、トワイライトとスティルライフがミックスされたような、リスナー待望の音楽世界観。今作の川内倫子のジャケット写真にも表現されている冬の夕暮れを想起させる情緒的な旋律の楽曲たち。温もりのあるピアノタッチ。
まさにアナログレコードの音でリスニングしてほしいサウンドです。アナログマスタリングは、ナカムラ作品のレコードマスタリングで定評のある田辺玄(studio camel house)。
LPの装丁も、川内倫子の写真が表現する森の世界を窓から覗いているようなコンセプチュアルかつ美しいデザインです。

A music album project by haruka nakamura for Tsutaya Shoten, created with the theme of “forest”. The second part is an ambient world where the piano is the main focus. A nostalgic yet new sound. The jacket photo is taken by Rinko Kawauchi, a photographer with whom I have a close friendship.

This work, which was released as a CD album in December 2023, will be released as a 12-inch record along with the first work ‘Aoi Mori’. Musician Haruka Nakamura will be in charge of the music for several stores of Tsutaya Shoten nationwide from 2023 to 2024 for one year.

All songs are newly written songs for the Tsutaya Shoten Project. Based on the concept of a bookstore that sells books, and the theme of ‘forests’, where pianos and musical instruments are born, the title ‘Blue Forest’ is connected to Nakamura’s hometown of Aomori, and a total of 4 works will be released during the period until summer 2024. I’m planning to make an album.

The first volume, ‘Aoi Mori,’ became a hot topic as it was the first time in their career that the music consisted only of synthesizers, and it has been loved by many listeners. The second part is the world of piano ambient. A long-awaited music worldview that is a mix of the popular works Twilight and Still Life. The songs have emotional melodies that evoke a winter evening, which is also expressed in Rinko Kawauchi’s jacket photo for this album. A warm piano touch.

This is exactly the kind of sound you want when listening to an analog record. Analog mastering was done by Gen Tanabe (studio camel house), who has a reputation for mastering records of Nakamura’s works. The LP binding also has a conceptual and beautiful design that makes you feel like you are looking through a window into the forest world expressed in Rinko Kawauchi’s photographs.
