Our Take

MICHIO MIYAGI's latest offering, "Haru No Umi," is a whimsical journey through the delicate sounds of spring. The album opens with the titular track, setting the scene with gentle strings and lulling melodies that evoke the feeling of cherry blossoms drifting in the wind.

Throughout the album, Miyagi showcases his mastery of the koto, a traditional Japanese instrument that takes center stage in many of the tracks. His intricate plucking and ethereal tones transport the listener to a serene garden filled with blooming flowers and bubbling streams.

Tracks like "Sakura Waltz" and "Moonlit Garden" are standout moments, with their enchanting melodies and intricate layering of sounds. Miyagi's skillful composition and keen attention to detail make each track a rich tapestry of sound, inviting the listener to lose themselves in the music.

While "Haru No Umi" may not be a revolutionary album in terms of genre-bending experimentation, it is a beautiful and cohesive work that showcases Miyagi's talent and reverence for traditional Japanese music. It's the perfect soundtrack for a quiet afternoon spent daydreaming in a sun-dappled garden.

Overall, MICHIO MIYAGI's "Haru No Umi" is a delightful listening experience that transports the listener to a tranquil world of beauty and grace. It's a must-listen for fans of Japanese traditional music and those looking for a moment of serenity in a hectic world.
