about

//About//
New EP 'In Moonlight', Akira Kosemura composed four piano pieces with the inspirations of the several female images. 'In Moonlight, Op. 1 & 2', the series take you to the quiet place, put yourself in the moonlight, a moonbeam breaks then shakes the shadow of you. 'Minerva', bearing the name of Roman mythical goddess Minerva, it makes you symbolize a wise and beautiful woman. 'Trace', we can image the feeling of her who stands the branch point of life, her past and future. This album shows us the various expressions however, there are the fragile beauty and close protective calmness of all songs, and it's everything you expect from Akira Kosemura.
