about

Akira Kosemura - MOMENTARY: Memories of the Beginning

An admiration towards the ideal what is linked unconsciously to human being’s roots, as seen in anima/animus archetype.
Capture it as one fateful encounter of a man and a woman, and sublimate a couple’s life moments into music.
Akira Kosemura releases sixth original album after five years.

In this five years, Akira Kosemura attempted to compose music with the “memories of the beginning” what lies deep inside him. He captures this concept as a fateful encounter of a man and a woman, and sublimate “moments of life” into this creation of a fantasy album.
The listeners will be guided into the story of this album with each song written with various piano melodies arrangement continuously. It is a new fantasy drama composed with music.
As a story-teller, various guest vocalists were featured: Nagi Yanagi, Devendra Banhart, nikiie, lasah, and shaylee. Although it is a most ambitious and challenging work the artist has ever created, but the music played throughout in this album provides the special worldview with finely honed aesthetic sense, and will invite listeners into a story. This newly born masterpiece is filled with beautiful premonition and pure impressions.

i didnt understand/appreciate twilight that much as a teenager. now im rediscovering it as a working adult in my mid 20s. coming back to twilight makes me feel nostalgic for experiences that went by so fast, that i feel like i didnt get a chance to absorb much. now in reflection, i really miss those moments and wish i could have a taste again. every song in this album brings back some kind of memory that I now greatly cherish more than ever. thank you, haruka nakamura for your sound <3 rivers
