Hoshino Michiru "gyakkou"
Hoshino Michiru, who just started her very own label "yoi Record gaisha" (translates to "Good Record Company") at the end of last year, has a brand new EP being released! Included are three songs of which she wrote the music herself, plus another written by and featuring Smooth Ace ("sayonara Blue Bird"). "gyakkō" has lyrics written by Iizumi Yūko (microstar) while "Rock'n'Roll Apple Pie" has lyrics by Michiru herself. "ganbare!" is an acapella that revisits her roots with an early solo song from when she was still part of AKB48. It has lyrics written by the group's producer Akimoto Yasushi.
This new EP is produced by Sally Kubota (SOLEIL, The Scooters), and the art direction and jacket photography was done by Shindō Mitsuo. The arranger is Okada Yumi who also does all of SOLEIL's arrangements.
On March 3, a special café live show will be held at fuchikuchi in Shimokitazawa (details), accompanied by cello and percussion. The new CD will be sold in advance there. And on April 27 there will be a daytime release party at "Haretara sora ni mame maite" in Daikanyama (details) with the same members plus special guest Sally Kubota!
