Vital Stream --Tomoko Shimasaki's 7th album She goes back to basics on this solo album, on which she sings while playing the piano. This is a no-concept album, like a new-born baby, its unvarnished music is just the way it is. It will be launched on 19th January 2016. I've decided to record my best tunes for the 10th anniversary of my music career. However, four days before the recording day, I realised that launching a best tunes album is not what I should do. So I finished my existing unreleased tunes from my past albums, and made this organic new album. --Tomoko Shimasaki Vocals, instruments and composition: Tomoko Shimasaki Recording location: Bobtail, Ike-no-ue, Tokyo Engineering, mixing and mastering: Hiroshi Ueno Piano tuning: Seiko Kisami Album artwork: Takehiko Tsutsumi Cover and booklet design: Takehiko Tsutsumi *Please refer to the link below to see a press release for Vital Stream. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrcvmq96d3ssn78/VS_PressRelease_A4_Eg.pdf For Tomoko's CV in English, please refer to the link below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/doo1b5baeoawhsb/Shimasaki_prof2015_Eg.pdf Tomoko's official website: http://8-shimasaki-8.com
