"The End Isn't the End" in which the tapestry woven by the arpeggio of the guitar spreads in the space like a constellation, this song was commissioned by The New York Times and was made for the documentary film below.

Motohiro Nakashima hails from Fukuyama, a city near Hiroshima. Noted for his fingerstyle guitar, and an experimental, ambient approach to making music, Nakashima debuted from Lo Recordings (Thurston Moore, Susumu Yokota, Luke Vibert) and has three albums from several labels.
Gathering The Light is his most personal work to date. Combining fingerstyle guitar and ambient instrumentation for emotive minimalist soundscapes, the album illustrates the universal search for light in the darkness, beauty in melancholy.

The French word for "rays of light", Rayons, is beginning to luminescence again. With a beautiful refrain of heart-touching strings as an homage to Johann Johannsson, Rayons returns after a long break. Having honed her skills through experience in hit movies, TV anime series, and commercials, her music has evolved to express emotions in a more simple and minimalistic way.

Rayons' music offers a fresh taste that weaves new elements into classical music perfectly. She is set to release two new singles as part of her new single series.

ライブラリアンズ2ndアルバム
“the have-not's 2nd savannah band”
https://www.jetsetrecords.net/i/812005212889/

カリブ海をテーマに美しい夢想へと誘われるカレイドスコープ・ベットルーム・ポップの傑作が誕生！タトウ式紙ボックス・ジャケットにイラストが封入された佇まいも素晴らしい1枚です。

現代音楽～即興演奏家の山田光と女性ボーカル穴迫楓によるユニット、山田光&ライブラリアンズ。ロック名盤からインディ・ポップ、ジャズ、ビルボート・ポップスまでを並列に扱い解体・再構築したトラックに、透き通るような女性ボーカルが浮遊する従来のスタイルはそのまま、国籍や時代不詳のカリビアン・ミュージックを奏でる全11曲。ジャズ・ポップバンドMr.Elephantsの女性ヴォーカルermhoiが参加したアヴァン・キャバレー・ジャズ歌謡M8など、改めて驚かされる才能です。アーティスト・ユニットguse arsによるアートワークも、ちょっとアカデミックで清廉な音楽性とピッタリ。(JETSET RECORDS)

twilight was haruka nakamura’s second album, released in the summer of 2010. The album spawned the haruka nakamura classics such as twilight, Ongaku No Aru Fuukei, Curtain Call, Faraway and Hikari. Upon release it was seen (and still is) as a haruka nakamura masterpiece. twilight marks a milestone not only for the artist but also remains the best-selling album on KITCHEN. LABEL in over a decade. Recorded in a studio overlooking the ocean as a tribute to the sight of the expiring sun falling slowly over the horizon at dusk, twilight is a sustained reverie that mirrors the dwindling rays of light at day’s end with its subtle variations in timbre and texture. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the iconic album will be available for the first time on vinyl and the re-releasing of the much sought after original first press CD + art book edition. Included in the reissue are 8 previously unreleased tracks recorded during the original sessions in 2010. Remastered by long-time collaborator Gen Tanabe, the reissue features artwork faithful to the original design with the addition of liner notes written by Toshhiko Terada of Ameto Kyujitsu. 

haruka nakamura’s twilight 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is available on: 

2LP: Remastered album tracks + 8 previously unreleased tracks. 12-inch double vinyl housed in gatefold sleeves and 4-page insert. 

2CD + Artbook: Remastered album tracks + 8 previously unreleased tracks. Double CDs housed in 48-page hardcover book.
