Contact artistWritten in Japan in 2014 and initially released as a limited run CD for a 2017 Japanese tour, "来日 / To Japan" is the story of a journey through that beautiful country in search for a way to spare a blossoming love from the wake of the world. Each song was written in the cities they reference, and sound samples recorded in the trains, streets, and izakayas of Japan serve as sonic transitions from place to place. This was a labor of love.
I made an account just to comment on this album. It's been a year since I spent a semester in Japan, and I miss it everyday. Just a few minutes into your tracks, especially the Return to Tokyo one, and I began to tear up. It really brought back the feeling of arriving in the station to Shibuya and walking out into the wide open, but crowded streets. Thank you so much.
