I just started listening to this, not expecting much from a December release. What I got
was some of the best pacing I've ever heard, flawless production, and rich themes with
constant variety.
This will likely be my first 10/10 in 5 years. Thank you, Ichiko, for creating a through-
a-through masterpiece.

What happened to her? She used to know how to write a song, now her music is just vaporous and pretty.

With Covid-19 being the dominant threat of 2020, millions and millions of people have been affected by it in one way or another. With that many artists have come out with various albums talking about the struggles, heartache, loneliness, and various other topics on the subject of living in self-isolation, quarantine, or various other occurrences that have happened due to this horrible various. I have reviewed many of these albums and they all have the same undertones of hatred and loneliness. But what if to close out 2020, to close out this horrific year with something new, sometimes many of us haven?t felt in months, hope. The seventh full-length album from the Japanese singer/songwriter starts off with a dense yet beautifully arranged ambient pop intro that creates a sense of swimming in the deepest ocean, with no one around you. However, this ocean is warm, filled with colorful life (from the animals to the plants). This feeling of happiness, of warmth, continues to build throughout the whole project. With folk drive tracks, piano-based tracks, and such beautiful instrumentation that it is hard not to listen to this album and sense warmth. With 2020 filled with such hatred and sadness, end the year with something a bit more hopefulness and warm.

A pretty record that does fall in the background from time to time. Ofc as all Ichiko stuff, it's chamber folk with some nature recordings, but this time the focus on ambient is even clearer. It's not when the ambient dominates that the record shines though: it's when many instruments complement the guitar's work, like on "Porcelain". In such instances, the music at work strangely resembles an eerie kid movie soundtrack. Most of the time, the record falls into the "yah-it's-pretty-but-am-yawning". Some might find it mesmerizing, but that ain't my case.

Absolutely gorgeous. There is a short run in the middle that made me question whether or not I'd slap a 4.3 on this thing, but you know what the few tracks after that do save the day. Ichikobroadens her sound enormously, whilst also taking a more ambient direction than folk in a lot of places - rather prominently on the gorgeous opening track for instance -, and the result is a marvellous thought-inducing patchwork of ghibli colours and adventurous childhood. No wonder she was featured on Link's Awakening. She didn't lose her sound, as is shown on tracks like 12 and 13 which remind a lot of her prior work yet fit with the rest nicely. She just expanded it beautifully. This is already clear from 2. The piano on 6 even reminds of Debussy-type impressionist compositions. What's more to ask. Perfect album to jam on a sunny morning looking at the trees gently swinging in the wind? 4.3
