『HYOEN 2025 -Kyomon no Yasha- Original Soundtrack』 has finally been released today!
This ambitious 2-CD masterpiece features 30 tracks and represents the culmination of SUGIZO Music, where progressive rock, psychedelic trance, hardcore jazz, ambient music, contemporary classical music, world music, and traditional Japanese music all collide and create a unique chemistry.
The soundtrack also includes all of the vocal pieces performed by the main cast, including Daisuke Takahashi and Takayuki Masuda.
In addition, many outstanding musicians who share a deep connection with me have contributed to this work, including my longtime comrade ShinyA (Dr), SHAG members Kazuhiro Bessho (Key) and Yukino Matsuura (Dr), Chloe (Vo) of COSMIC DANCE SEXTET, leading figures of the jazz scene Tomoaki Baba (T.Sax) and Patrick Bartley (A. Sax), Sota Asano (Taiko) of Neo Japanesqe, synthesizer maestro Hideki Matsutake (Synth), and many more.
The booklet also includes a special conversation featuring Yukihiko Tsutsumi, the visionary director and creative force behind Hyoen 2025, Takuma Suehara, who wrote the script and all of the lyrics, and myself (SGZ).
I would be truly honored if you could experience this work not only with your ears, but with every fibre of your being — and with your soul.
