{"product_id":"4988044828551","title":"Akino Niwa Arai Akino 40th anniversary album Akinosphere Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nContents Introduction This is Akino Arai's first self-cover album, commemorating her 40th anniversary since her debut. It includes 15 songs that are particularly meaningful to her, mainly from her early career in 1988 to 2004. In the Resound all songs live series that has been held since last year, an attempt was made to perform all the songs from her first four albums nonstop without any MCs. This album is based on the live arrangements created by her long-time production partner, Hisaaki Hokari, during that time, and has been further developed from there. The album includes popular tracks such as \"Moon Light Anthem ~Enju 1991~\" (image album for the comic \"Please Save My Earth\"), a landmark song for Arai, \"VOICES\" (\"Macross Plus\" soundtrack, composed by Yoko Kanno, lyrics by Wakako Kaku), which is also popular overseas, and \"Kakusei Toshi,\" the ending theme for the TV anime \"Tokyo Underground.\" In addition, \"Tale of Blue,\" a song created for Yui Makino in 2022, is also included with Arai's own arrangement. Hanaco (Hanako Takeuchi), who creates costumes for Arai's live performances, was in charge of the costumes, hair and makeup, photography, and even the artwork for the jacket, which richly expresses the worldview of Akino Arai, as reflected in the title \"Akinosphere.\" The recording features keyboardist kidlit, who produced the final installment of the Resound all songs series, as well as keyboardist Hosomi Uo, bassist Chigasaki Manabu, violinist Todo Masahiko, and cellist Yuki Takahiro.

It includes 15 songs that are particularly meaningful to her, mainly from her works from 1988, shortly after her debut, to 2004, which is the first half of her career. The Resound all songs live series, which began in 2025, featured an experiment where all tracks from the band's first four albums were performed non-stop, without any MC breaks. This album is based on the live arrangements created by long-time production partner Hisaaki Hokari during that series, and further developed from those arrangements.
