Japanese musician ohashiTrio has just released his latest album GOLD HOUR.
This marks his first original full-length album in about three years, and follows his 2023 EP Karatachi no Yume, which included the opening theme to season 2 of the hit drama series What Did You Eat Yesterday?, as well as the theme song for the NHK Saturday drama series Tantei Romance. Last year he also released the collaboration album Trio & Charm with Japanese group THE CHARM PARK.
GOLD HOUR contains a total of 10 songs, including four songs taken from last October’s digital-only EP, as well as self-covers of ‘Karatachi no Yume’ and Japanese singer lily’s song ‘Chiisana uta’ (which ohashiTrio produced), alongside unreleased new material. The album is a treasure trove of rich music that blends various styles and genres into complex pop music, a product of ohashiTrio’s unique musical sense and meticulous sound production.
The first-pressing limited edition video set includes live footage from ohashiTrio’s 15th anniversary performance TRIO ERA 2, which was held at the Tokyo International Forum in November 2022 with lily (Yuriko Ishida) as a guest.
