A unique work that combines the sensibility of actors with musical playfulness.
This is a musical project by Naoto Takenaka, featuring Haruomi Hosono and Akiko Yano, and is an impressive album with an experimental sound that crosses new wave and pop, and a unique narrative style.
This unique album beautifully combines the expressiveness of an actor with musical sensibility. "The Stone with a Changed Shape" blends vocals and narration, effortlessly moving between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Haruomi Hosono and Akiko Yano's arrangements are sophisticated yet playful, with a subtle interplay of synth and acoustic textures. Occasional narration-like phrases lend the entire work a mysterious depth. This album encapsulates the free-spirited atmosphere of Tokyo culture in the early '80s, and is a creative pop album that still stands out today.
