1.	左目の虹　 05:58	lyrics
その瞳に映る虹が　飛び出して浮かび上がるゆっくりとゆっくりと　ためらうことなくどこまでも限りなく空に広がる夜を突き抜け　光りながらどこかの惑星で　浮かびながら漂いながらその瞳に　再び映る "The Rainbow in Your Left Eye" The rainbow reflected in your eye Flies out and floats upwards Slowly, ever so slowly Not hesitating, endlessly Infinitely, it spreads over the sky Streaking across the night, shining On some planet out there Floating, drifting Again it reflects in your eye Again it reflects in your eye
2.	まなざしを 03:44	lyrics
めくるめく日　過ぎゆく日　まなざしを立ち止まっても　去りゆく人　まなざしを来るべき日　さまよえる日　美しき後ろ照る日差し　振り返れば　美しき ”Manazashi o (A Look)” A dizzying day, a day that slips by, a look… Someone who walks away even when I stop, a look… A longed for day, a day for wandering, beautiful Sunlight illuminating behind me, when I look back, beautiful
3.	水音〜夜咲く 04:32	lyrics
水音たちが伝える　夜咲く　夜咲く水音たちに伝える　今すぐ　今すぐ ”Sound of Water, Night Blooming” The sound of water conveys night blooming night blooming Conveys to the sound of water right now right now
4.	五月雨 03:47	lyrics
愛し合おう　水のように抱きあおう　山のように手を繋ごう　森のように五月雨は　止まぬつくろいは？　　まだ晩ごはんは？　　食べる ”Early Summer Rain” Let us love like water Let us embrace like mountains Let us join hands like the forests Early summer rain keeps on falling How are the repairs? Still unfinished Do you want dinner? I’ll eat
5.	わくらば 00:50
6.	瑞穂 02:51	lyrics
瑞穂たわわに実る　　季節は永遠に続くつちのと　こらえきれずに忘れがたき命道連れここに待てり　君悼みし遠い日みずのと　あふれる胸忘れまじ　この祈り瑞穂はここに実る　見ず知らずの心にかぜのと　幸多かれと忘れじの夕べを ”Young Ears of Rice” Young ears of rice, heavily ripening seasons stretch forth eternal Tsuchinoto unable to bear it A life so hard to forget Your companion awaits you here grieving you on a distant day Mizunoto hearts overflowing A prayer that must not be forgotten Young ears of rice ripen here unseen, unknown in our hearts Wind sound replete with good fortune On a night never to be forgotten
7.	まぢかに 03:13
8.	名もなき雨 02:49	lyrics
止まぬ雨の下　あてもなく歌う光の雫　流れて溶ける名もなき雨が　人知れず歌う水の記憶　流れて続く月の歌を奏で　山の民愛でる砕けちっても　彷徨い果てても陽の光を慕い　風に乗ってきたよお前の全てを　愛するゆえに ”Nameless Rain” Under the endless rains singing aimlessly Drips of light flowing, melting Nameless rain singing secretly Memories of water flowing one after another Playing the moon’s song we love mountain people Even when we are crushed even if we wander forever Longing for the light of the sun riding here on the wind So that we may love in all entirety
9.	木々の歌 04:00	lyrics
木々の歌が空に集い　山の上から降りてくる軒の下に声が届く　月の裏にもそれは響く月の裏に声を残して　歩き出す　ここに向かって深い深い森の中から愛の言葉　結びつく ”Song of Trees” The song of trees gathers in the sky Descending from above the peaks Voices reach under the eaves Echoing to the far side of the moon Leaving voices on the far side of the moon Walking out, towards here From the deep, deep forests Words of love connecting

about

The master improviser Chie Mukai, who has long fascinated the world as one of the representatives of the Japanese psychedelic/improvisation scene, and the young guitarist who has produced the most talked-about works from An'archives, are the two leading "P.S.F." lovers of the new generation. Over the past few years, the two have deepened their friendship across generations, and now they make their long-awaited CD debut as a new unit called "Chie Mukai and Yonju Miyaoka.

This is very natural and innocent music.

Chie Mukai (Ché-SHIZU), an erhu player with a cult following in Japan and abroad, has been performing her unique style for over 40 years. And the newcomer Yonju Miyaoka, who has been quietly attracting attention both at home and abroad with his work on "Bunsuirei," "Shuko No Omit," and "Sayozoku". These two artists of different generations, who naturally gravitate toward each other based on their aesthetics and sensibilities that they can somehow communicate without saying it out loud, have a chance encounter that transcends generations in their gentle, song-filled performances and mysterious songs. At times sharp and gentle, at other times fresh and simple, this is a journey into daydreams.

Text by Tsunaki Kadowaki (Meditations)

ジャパニーズ・サイケデリック/即興シーン代表格の一人として長きに渡り世界を魅了し続けてきた孤高のインプロヴァイザー・向井千恵と、欧州・仏のカルト名所〈An'archives〉等からも話題作を送り出してきた若手ギタリストにして、新世代きっての〈P.S.F.〉ラヴァーとして推したい、宮岡永樹 (Yonju Miyaoka)。ここ数年に渡り、世代を超えて交友を深めてきた二人が新ユニット『向井千恵と宮岡永樹』として待望のCDデビュー。

あまりに無垢で自然体な音による　類い稀なるアコースティック「うたもの」アルバム。

国内外においてカルト的な人気を誇り、40年以上に渡って独特のスタイルを貫いている二胡奏者／向井千惠 (Ché-SHIZU)。そして、分水嶺、終古のオミット、サヨ族等において国内外より静かな注目を集める新人／宮岡永樹 (Yonju Miyaoka)。口に出さずとも何処と無く通じ合う美学と感性のもとに、自然と惹かれ合うこととなった異なる世代の二人の作家は、おだやかで歌心に満ちた演奏と不思議な歌のなかで、世代を超えて邂逅を果たしていくのである。時に鋭くも優しく、みずみずしくも素朴な味わいに満ちた、白昼夢へと誘う微睡みの旅。

文・門脇綱生 (Meditations)
