Intimités

A distance close enough to touch, yet just out of reach-"Intimités" captures the quiet frustration of that fragile space,
and the steady movement toward emotional renewal.
Jazz pianist Hideaki Hori shapes the stillness and shadow within the song
through an arrangement that is both delicate and bold,
while guitarist Takayoshi Baba adds a transparent melodic line
that sharpens the boundary between intimacy and solitude.
The three artists, seasoned through countless performances together,
weave a harmonic landscape that reflects the title Intimités ("intimacy"):
a space where quiet emotions are carefully lifted to the surface,
and each musician's individuality reveals a new layer of narrative.
A work that gently unveils a deeper, more nuanced side of Aya-Azurea,
beyond the catchy brightness she is known for.
