RELEASE DESCRIPTION

This is the third volume in a series of analog recordings of hidden masterpieces by Toshiba EMI. This year's release features titles released in the 2000s and beyond!

The first major album by Shione Yukawa, a migratory bird with a guitar. Ten songs are included, including ''Green Arch'' provided by Takashi Nagazumi of Hanaregumi, ''The King of Naked'' provided by Shigeru Kishida of Kururi, and ''Light a Candle'' produced by James Iha of 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 may be too cliched to call her a ''quality singer-songwriter,'' but the lyrics, which evoke a certain ''cruelty'' and ''bold perspective'' peculiar to women, will make you feel a sense of excitement, and I guarantee you will be struck by her voice, which is her greatest charm.

Her beautiful soprano voice is used to warm up the music.As a young girl, she played the soprano part in the Tokyo Boys and Girls Choir but later shifted to the pop music field. The voice is fragile and beautiful, but ''thorns'' appear here and there. The same is true of the lyrics. Don't be fooled by their soft and gentle appearance...

The sound spun simply with traditional instruments is a true English folk worldview.
