Yukawa Shione

This is the first major album by Shione Yukawa. It contains 10 songs, including Midori no Arch" produced by Takashi Nagazumi a.k.a. Hanaregumi, "Hadaka no Ousama" produced by Shigeru Kishida from Quruli, and "Light a Candle" produced by James Iha from The Smashing Pumpkins. Produced by Soichiro Suzuki of World Standard, who has worked with Hanaregumi and others. Mixed by ZAK, who was in charge of Fishmans and Buffalo Daughter. The lyrics, which evoke a kind of "cruelty" and "bold perspective," will make you feel a sense of excitement, and her voice, which is her greatest charm, will surely make you fall in love with her. Her beautiful soprano voice is used to full advantage in her warm songs. As a young girl, she played the soprano part in the Tokyo Boys and Girls Choir, but later shifted to the pop music field. Her voice is fragile and beautiful, but her "thorns" appear here and there. The same is true of the lyrics. The sound spun simply with traditional instruments is exactly the world view of English folk music.
