The music album project by Tsutaya Books, created by haruka nakamura with the theme of "forest," continues with its third installment. This time, it delves into the world of electric piano, primarily featuring the sounds of the Wurlitzer and Fender Rhodes, diving deeply into the essence of "blue."
Musician haruka nakamura will curate the in-store music for several Tsutaya Bookstores nationwide from 2023 to 2024. All tracks are original compositions specifically for the Tsutaya Bookstore project. The concept revolves around "forest," a theme connecting the bookstore's philosophy with nakamura's hometown of Aomori, known as the "blue forest." Over the course of the year until summer 2024, four albums will be produced.
The first album, entirely composed of synthesizer music, received widespread acclaim and became a favorite among many listeners. The second album, exploring the realm of piano ambient music, was also highly praised for its anticipated musical vision. The current third album delves deeply into a "blue" world reminiscent of dawn, as depicted in the cover photograph by Rinko Kawauchi. This album, the third in the series, features profound, introspective blue tones. The "blue forest" series is presented in beautifully designed packaging, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
