The album’s concept is “Not in this world, but in this world — my world.” Rather than offering anthems to uplift others, it maintains a deeply introspective focus, asserting a quiet acceptance of both the present and the self.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOne of the album’s defining songs, \"You're the Best Person in This World,\" tenderly declares, “You are the most beautiful person in the world.” Through simple, unguarded phrasing, Mifune transforms raw sincerity into a universal statement of affirmation—one that acknowledges the beauty of living amidst complexity. The song, conceived years ago, finally finds its place on this record. Riding a rare, straightforward 8-beat rhythm, its words strike directly at the heart.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMusically, the album stands as a bold exploration. On the pre-release single \"Kitsunebi,\" ROTH BART BARON merges track-based production with live band energy, evoking the spectral image of Japanese foxfire through a Western instrumental palette. The track blurs the border between worlds, marking a new creative horizon for the band—one where the sound of the Japanese language meets an expansive, global sonic landscape.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\"CRYSTAL (feat. Moeka Shiotsuka),\" unveiled at BEAR NIGHT 2024, marks a long-awaited collaboration with Shiotsuka of Hitsujibungaku. The two had already shared creative chemistry as labelmates and collaborators on the remix of \"BLUE SOULS,\" and this new song serves as the culmination of their artistic dialogue. As the title suggests, their voices glimmer like crystal—radiant, interwoven, and illuminating Mifune’s path forward.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMifune’s personal history—leaving school after struggling with emotional pain, then finding his purpose through music—deeply informs the album’s spirit. As its title \"LOST AND FOUND\" implies, this work tells the story of a person who reconnects with the world through sound, tracing the tension between what was lost and what might yet be rediscovered.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Space Shower Music","offers":[{"title":"Japanese 1LP \"Blue\" Colored Limited Edition","offer_id":45778449334316,"sku":"PEJF-91060","price":295.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/0461\/9308\/files\/roth-bart-baron-lost-and-found.jpg?v=1783495923","url":"https:\/\/whitenoiserecords.org\/products\/roth-bart-baron-lost-and-found","provider":"WHITE NOISE RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
